At the moment, Ruan Yu was only thinking about the wild boar meat that was about to be obtained, so she didn't have the time to care about what Liu Guilan and the others would do.

However, thinking about what Xie Beichen had just mentioned about making braised pork, Ruan Yu naturally thought of the purpose of Xie Beichen's return to the army this time.

"Did you get the spices back?"

She thought about it and realized that the only place where one could get so many seasonings was probably the army.

"Yes." Xie Beichen nodded and answered Ruan Yu very seriously: "I prepared according to the list you listed, no more, no less.

The cook said that the troops have enough of these things, but I have to exchange them for meat when the time comes."

At this point, Xie Beichen reached out and rubbed Ruan Yu's head again, and continued to explain to her: "So I may be a little busy in the next few days.

The New Year is coming soon, and the army has infrastructure construction tasks.

The brigade commander meant that the roads were blocked by heavy snow outside, and we had to overcome some difficulties ourselves. We couldn't let the soldiers do heavy physical work without any fuel.

So I have to lead the team into the mountains."

Although they said he was given a leave, in fact, if anything happened in the army, Xie Beichen had to return to the team.

Besides, this is not an exception, because Xie Beichen is very capable. Since he came here, every year when something like this happens and they have to go into the mountains, Xie Beichen always leads the team.

After hearing Xie Beichen's explanation, Ruan Yu nodded in understanding: "Do you need me to help you prepare anything?"

"No, just rest at home."

Xie Beichen smiled slightly. He didn’t feel it when he was alone before, but now he almost likes the feeling of being cared for more and more.

"I'll be gone for three days at most. If things go well, I'll be able to go home in about two days."

Now that things had come to this, Xie Beichen naturally followed up with the next arrangements to reassure Ruan Yu.

"When are you leaving?" Ruan Yu calculated the time in his heart. If possible, it would be best to wait until the dried meat and jerky were finished, so that he could bring some into the mountains to eat!

"Two days later." Xie Beichen looked at Ruan Yu and answered her in a low voice.

"Okay, let's hurry up and make the meat jerky and other things in the next two days. Oh, there's one more thing. President Wu just asked me for help."

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen kept walking towards the bustling place where pork was being distributed, and she repeated the request that President Wu had just made to her.

Naturally, she also told Xie Beichen how she would deal with Liu Guilan and the others next.

“I think that since it has been brought up, why not just do it together?

There are more than just educated youth in our commune who can write articles! Anyone who wants to participate can do so. This is fair!"

"Don't worry. If those people really want to cause trouble, we are not afraid."

Xie Beichen was not worried about anything else but Ruan Yu suffering a loss.

He thought about it and decided to find a chance to chat with the old branch secretary in the next two days. And if possible, he really wanted to find an opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkey.

"I'm not afraid of them." Ruan Yu turned around and looked at Xie Beichen, smiled at him, and there was really no sign of fear on her face.

"Don't worry about your work. I can take care of everything at home."

As the two were talking, they saw Sister Guiqin waving excitedly at them not far away.

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen did not delay any longer and quickly rushed towards Sister Guiqin.

The old man in charge of distributing the meat had obviously heard about Ruan Yu's brave deeds as a woman who was no less brave than any man, so when it was her turn to get the meat, in addition to giving her the relatively good fatty pork belly, he also gave her two extra pork bones.

"I am really biased! She is a female comrade who risked her life to deliver a letter all night long, so shouldn't I give her some extra care?

Besides, the wild boar was hunted thanks to the human partner!

So, if it weren't for Ruan Yu, this phoenix tree, how could we have attracted Comrade Beichen, this golden phoenix!"

Old Fangtou's words amused everyone who was waiting to divide the meat.

Everyone was already very happy to be able to get meat and food, and as for other things, no one cared that much.

When it was Xie Beichen's turn, Old Fangtou followed the previous instructions of the commune and not only gave him the same amount of meat as Ruan Yu, but also gave him a large piece of pork ribs.

After all, this wild boar was hunted thanks to Xie Beichen, so he deserves this extra reward.

In this way, the family returned home with a full load.

Sister Guiqin's smile never faded throughout the journey. With such a happy event, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen were naturally kept at the old branch secretary's house and had dinner happily together.

By the time Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu returned home, it was already completely dark.

At this moment, the two of them were not sleepy at all, so they simply started preparing to make meat jerky.

Although Ruan Yu had never cooked ingredients such as roe deer and wild boar before, she was extremely skilled at cooking spicy beef.

It's just a change of ingredients, no big deal.

However, the ambitious Ruan Yu encountered big trouble at the very beginning.

The roe deer meat that Ruan Yu had retrieved from the snow pile outside the yard had already been frozen hard as a rock. Ruan Yu chopped at it with all her might, but she only managed to make a few small holes in it...

What the hell is this!

"Let me do it."

Xie Beichen couldn't help laughing when he saw Ruan Yu's frustration. He reached out and took the meat-cutting knife from her, sat down and started to prepare the roe deer meat according to Ruan Yu's request.

The piece of meat that was as hard as stone in Ruan Yu's hands before, now seemed to have changed its texture in Xie Beichen's hands, like tofu, and he easily cut it into the meat strips as thick as a finger that Ruan Yu requested.

The smoothness of the cut meat stunned Ruan Yu, who was waiting to watch the fun.

This, this must be because the meat was too hard when she cut it just now!

Unconvinced, Ruan Yu came up and was about to try again.

Xie Beichen did not stop her. He cooperated and handed the kitchen knife in his hand to Ruan Yu, signaling her to try again.

This time, Xie Beichen was even very considerate and told Ruan Yu how to use force, as if by following his instructions she could really do it as easily as he had just done.

Ruan Yu took a deep breath, and under someone's encouraging gaze, she followed suit and cut with a knife. Sure enough...

Nothing happened.

Ruan Yu gritted her teeth and increased her strength, but the blade remained motionless...

Just, outrageous!

Just when Ruan Yu was about to give up angrily, a warm body suddenly came up from behind her. Xie Beichen had come behind her without her knowing when. He put one hand around Ruan Yu's waist and held her hand with the other to hold the hilt of the knife.

"I'll teach you..."
