The young educated youth is the king of melon eating

The three of them went around the mountain where the main group went down. Although Dahei Mountain now belongs to everyone and whoever catches something owns it, everyone in the village catches things quietly and eats them without making a sound.

There are always people who are jealous and can't stand it, and there are always people who think that if they can't have it, no one else can have it.

Avoid trouble if you can. No one wants to cause trouble for no reason.

When we got back to the educated youth camp, only Yang Xin and Lin Fang were there. The rest of us wanted to go up the mountain on time. It was not too cold at this time, and there were still branches on the mountain that could be picked up for burning.

If you are lucky, you can pick hawthorn berries and jujube beans. If you are luckier, you can pick some dried fruits, which will be enough to grind your teeth for the whole winter.

The old educated youth all knew how cruel winter was. He Yan had also suffered from the cold at home, so she did not dare to relax, especially since she definitely did not have enough food. If the kang was colder, she might not be able to survive the winter.

Her worst plan was to wait until the weather got colder, then lie on the kang all day and eat only one meal a day so that she wouldn't feel hungry if she didn't move.

The better option, of course, is to coax Xu Shiqing into moving into her little house. Then she won't have to worry about the winter for a whole year, let alone three or four months.

Yang Xin was commanding several uncles to build a kang for her.

Two of them were the people who built the small kitchen for Shen Lu and the others. They both looked embarrassed when they saw Shen Lu and Xu Shiqing. Yesterday, they said that the only thing left to build was the stove, so they wanted to take a leave today to go to the mountain to get firewood, and continue building the stove the day after tomorrow.

Shen Lu agreed thinking that she wouldn't need the small kitchen recently. But who knew that today the two of them would show up at the educated youth site to build a kang for Yang Xin.

Both of them had embarrassed looks on their faces. The two honest men were sweating. It was all their fault for their greedy wives who refused to let them go up the mountain just for two dollars. The two had no choice but to come.

It’s not that the bad woman is greedy for money, it’s just that Yang Xin gave her too much.

Each person was paid one dollar a day. It took Shen Lu and her team about six days to finish the two stoves and the stove in the small kitchen plus the small kitchen. Each person was paid five dollars. They brought their son with them so they could finish the work faster, so they didn't charge them extra.

The price given to Shen Lu and the other two was the normal price for their work. When Yang Xin heard this, he waved his hand and said one dollar per person, for five people. Today, they must be arranged for Shen Lu according to her request.

Shen Lu is fine. She will target Yang Xin but she won't use innocent people as a pretext.

When the two men asked for leave yesterday, it was not to work for Yang Xin today. Since she has approved the leave, the two uncles are free today and they can do anything.

Shen Lu smiled at the two uncles and went in without saying anything. The five of them worked very quickly. By noon, the kang in Yang Xin's room was ready. They decided to go home, eat, rest for a while, and then come back to build the stove in the afternoon.

Since Yang Xin paid for a day's work, the work cannot be done too quickly. What if the employer sees that the process is too fast and shortens the time to finish it in half a day? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Xu Shiqing followed Shen Lu in her room. Shen Lu was boiling water, and Xu Shiqing was washing the dried mushrooms that Xie Yao brought in the morning and stewing the chicken.

When Xie Yao saw the workers had left, he took a basin of hot water and went out to kill a chicken. When Yang Xin came out, he just happened to see Xie Yao killing the pheasant and carrying it into the house.

This pheasant was not small. Even without the feathers removed it must have weighed about two kilograms. Yang Xin's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Hey, who is that? Can you sell me this chicken? I'll give you money."
