Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Once this matter is taken up, the next step is to refine and improve it.

If a system wants to function for a long time, it must be truly fair and just.

Otherwise, three hundred years will be the deadline!

Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin are not the kind of brothers who would take advantage of small gains.

So once all the rules were set, the two brothers were the first to follow them, and there was no more argument.

After October, the weather starts to get cooler.

But this place is still in the south after all. Even though it is the border between the north and the south, it truly belongs to the south.

So compared to the cold winter in Beijing, the temperature here is still acceptable.

There are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year. Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin unanimously decided to take everyone to prepare accommodation first and put the rest aside.

There is nothing to do after planting winter wheat.

Except for those who are on duty at the village entrance, the rest of the seventy or eighty people are busy cutting wood and making adobe bricks every day.

By December, almost all the larger trees at the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village had been cut down.

What followed was a large open space outside the gold mine entrance, where more than a dozen large wooden houses were quickly built.

The completion of these houses immediately made Ning Yuan and his family's originally somewhat tight living conditions much more relaxed.

Nowadays, there are basically two people living in one house.

Ning Yuan and little Ning Wei lived in the newly built wooden house.

Moreover, among these male and female educated youth, there were several pairs who fell in love with each other.

Ning Yuan naturally had no objection to this kind of thing. If both parties agreed, they would be given priority for settlement.

After the houses were redistributed, other things gradually got back on track.

Every day, those who should go to the gold mine go to the gold mine, and those who should stand guard at the village entrance go to stand guard.

Then there are hunters. With such a good ecological environment, if they don’t go into the mountains to reward themselves, isn’t that a waste of nature?

Ning Yuan reorganized a hunting team of sixteen people, including himself.

These guys are all quite skilled and have good marksmanship.

Basically everyone in it includes Zhong Yuemin, Zou Cheng, Hu Lianwang, Xu Chang, Tian Erliang, etc.

Of course, it is impossible for sixteen people to go out hunting together every time.

So Ning Yuan divided them into two teams, each with eight people.

Ning Yuan led one team, and Zhong Yuemin led another.

The two hunting teams took turns going into the mountains, and each time they returned with a full load.

Good marksmanship is certainly one thing, but more importantly, their equipment is quite complete.

Each hunting team is equipped with six Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and two homemade shotguns.

It must be powerful and precise.

As the weather got colder, the furs stripped from wild animals were worn by educated youth like Ning Yuan.

Life in the mountains is plain but fulfilling.

Before they knew it, January was almost here, and Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin and others had a discussion.

I will prepare a sumptuous meal for everyone this New Year’s Day. After all, we are all wandering around, and the only ones who can comfort us are the brothers and sisters around us!

After making the decision, Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin, two brothers, went into the mountains together, which was quite rare.

The last time Ning Yuan led people into the mountains, he found traces of tigers, so he had to be more careful this time.

A group of sixteen people marched into the mountain in a mighty procession.

There are far fewer wild animals along the way than a few months ago.

It can be seen that Ning Yuan and his friends have indeed seen a lot of wild animals living in this forest.

They walked all the way north to Black Bear Valley, where they only managed to kill seven or eight pheasants and three or four rabbits.

They are all small things like this, how can they satisfy the eighty people in their Fang Village.

Therefore, we can only continue to walk into the deep mountains and forests to the north.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that Black Bear Valley is a dangerous place.

However, Ning Yuan and his men are now strong in numbers and have sufficient ammunition, so there is nothing to worry about.

After entering the ravine, the trees were indeed much denser, and there were many small creatures running around.

Ning Yuan asked everyone to cheer up and walk into the ditch.

Instead of encountering a black bear, we ran into a group of wild goats.

There were quite a lot of wild sheep in this group. Ning Yuan and his men killed seven or eight of them with just one round of shooting.

There are still about ten goats left, but these goats are indeed easily frightened.

As soon as the gunshots were heard, they immediately scattered in all directions.

Only the sheep that were shot were lying on the ground in a mess.

Ning Yuan and his men quickly stepped forward to collect the prey.

It was getting dark, and it would be too risky to go deeper into the mountains.

So Ning Yuan decided to return. They all went down the mountain happily, carrying their prey.

When they returned to the village, everyone cheered when they saw so many prey.

Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin and others went to rest first.

The rest of the work will be left to Meng Qing and the other female educated youth, and Zheng Tong and the others can also help.

They use the game they hunt to make soup, cut the meat into large pieces and stew it, or roast it directly over the fire.

The female educated youth helped to prepare side dishes such as wild vegetables, and the whole village was filled with tempting aromas.

When everything was ready, everyone sat together to share this sumptuous meal. Although they were in a remote place, their hearts were closely connected.

Ning Yuan even brought out some Erguotou and wine to liven up the atmosphere.

This meal included wine and meat, and everyone really enjoyed themselves!

After eating and drinking, everyone started to make a fuss and insisted that Ning Yuan stand up and say a few words.

Ning Yuan did not refuse. After thinking about it, he stood up and spoke to everyone.

"Brothers and sisters, we have been here for two months. Today is the first day of 69. I would like to make a promise to you all during this sumptuous dinner!"

"I can't control how the educated youth in other places live, but here, I will do my best to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothes, a place to live, and is not bullied!"

Ning Yuan did not say anything overly profound or idealistic, but just these down-to-earth words triggered applause from the whole room.

The male educated youth were fine, as they all came from the old city together, so there was probably really no horizontal comparison.

But it was different for the female educated youth, as they were transferred from various places.

Although this place is a bit remote, Ning Yuan and his friends go to the county every ten days or half a month to deliver some things to Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fan.

I can help everyone deliver some letters.

Therefore, these female educated youth also knew something about the current situation of their friends in other places.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so difficult in other places. One of my classmates was sent to work in the countryside in northern Shaanxi. After just three months, they were forced to beg for food!"

A female educated youth with a round face said this under the influence of alcohol and the current atmosphere.
