When everyone in the Youth League dragged their slightly cold bodies slowly back to the Youth League, everyone was holding tightly in their hands the dirty bowls they had used and stained with food residues.

The biting cold wind cut across their cheeks like a knife, causing them to involuntarily tighten their necks and quicken their pace to rush to the yard.

Perhaps it was the cold weather, or perhaps it was the indescribable tacit understanding between them, which made the eight people walk towards the kitchen almost at the same time.

As they walked into the kitchen, a unique smell of food hit them in the face, but they did not stop. Instead, they walked to the kitchen counter where they usually placed items in tacit understanding, and gently placed the dishes in their hands neatly on it.

After their hands were finally freed, some of them immediately turned around and ran to the corner where the firewood was piled, bent down and picked up bundles of dry firewood.

At the same time, others quickly walked to the water-drawing area in the yard, skillfully picked up buckets, and drew up clear well water.

The remaining few people were not idle either. They quickly cleaned up the debris around the small stove in the kitchen that was usually used for cooking.

They carefully moved the jars filled with various pickles to other suitable locations, and then carefully swept the ground to ensure that there was a large enough space.

Then they moved out several old but sturdy long benches from the corner and placed them in order around the small stove.

That way, everyone can sit around the warm fire while we light the fire, boil water, and wash the dishes.

This way, you can enjoy the warmth brought by the fire while happily chatting and sharing what you have seen and heard during the day.

In this way, the whole kitchen is filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Fortunately, over the past six months, the eight of them have been together day and night, inseparable, and have already developed an extraordinary tacit understanding with each other.

This kind of tacit understanding seems to be innate, and they can understand each other's intentions and thoughts without any verbal communication.

Because of this, everything they wanted to accomplish in this short period of time was handled in an orderly and flawless manner.

Look at this moment, these eight friends are sitting leisurely around the small but warm and pleasant campfire.

The blazing flames jumped happily, emitting waves of warmth and illuminating everyone's face.

Above the campfire, there is a slightly old-fashioned tripod, which is like a loyal servant, quietly taking on the responsibility of "stove".

This old-fashioned tripod is a clever design that can hold even a compact kettle securely.

Even though there was a kettle filled with water placed on top of the tripod, this did not affect everyone's enjoyment of the comfort and pleasure brought by the fire.

On the contrary, this arrangement not only makes it convenient for everyone to keep warm and keep out the cold, but also solves the problem of needing hot water to wash dishes later.

After washing the dishes, since it was still early and night had not yet fallen, they had plenty of time to chat and joke with each other.

After the chat, they can fetch clean water again, do the final wash-up of the day, and then fall into a sweet dream with a relaxed and happy mood.

When everything was arranged, eight people sat around the fire that was emitting blazing heat and looked like a shining pearl, and an extraordinary daily tea party began.

The atmosphere of today's tea party was particularly lively, with topics coming one after another like waves.

At the beginning, everyone's focus was on the lively scene of slaughtering pigs today.

Some people vividly described the struggles and screams of the pigs when they were slaughtered, as if the thrilling scene was happening right before their eyes.

Others still vividly remember the jubilant expressions of the onlookers, and couldn't help but sigh at the cheerful yet tense atmosphere at that time.

Then, the topic changed and everyone began to share their joy when they got their own portion of pork.

Some people were so excited that they danced and gestured to show how big the piece of fat and lean meat in their hands was.

Some people savored the aroma of the pork that hit their noses the moment they got it, with happy smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, that special "big pot meal" also became a hot topic of discussion.

People praised the cooks for not being afraid of the cold and for being able to skillfully combine various ingredients in that environment to cook delicious dishes for so many people.

At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned the gathering and chatting with other brigade members today, and the atmosphere of the whole tea party instantly became more lively.

Everyone was talking at once, excitedly discussing the latest news in each household.

From the child of the east family being beaten by his parents for some reason, to the daughter-in-law of the west family giving birth to a big fat boy, to the old man of another family being in good health and still able to work in the fields...

Although these trivial matters in family life seem ordinary, they are full of the breath of life and make people feel more intimate.

Perhaps it was because they had gone through a long and boring hibernation period, and the important task of distributing food had long been completed.

When these young people who had been studying hard in the Youth League suddenly saw those familiar faces whom they would rarely meet in normal times, and shared and exchanged so many interesting anecdotes with them, the excitement that had been suppressed for a long time in their hearts erupted like a volcano, making them feel extremely excited and excited.

This extremely excited emotion was like a surging torrent, continuously hitting their hearts.

This drove them to talk endlessly about their unique and sincere feelings and profound insights about the upcoming pig-killing dinner.

Not only that, everyone present seemed to be deeply immersed in the joyful atmosphere full of laughter and joy, completely forgetting the passage of time and showing no signs of wanting to stop.

Because of this, even though the water in the big pot on the stove was bubbling and steaming, and the water was surging upward and even began to overflow, no one was willing to move forward to wash the dishes and chopsticks placed on the kitchen counter.

However, for this female educated youth, the worry of who would wash the dishes did not cause her much trouble.

The reason for this is naturally thanks to the gentlemanly male educated youth in the small educated youth compound!

After all, in this cold winter, even if they had to use hot water to wash the dishes, no male educated youth would have the heart to let these "delicate" girls do such heavy work.

Just when everyone was worried about this issue, several clever male educated youth came up with a brilliant idea together.

They thought: since no one is willing to leave the warm and comfortable fire, why not use the most ancient and fair way - "rock, scissors, paper" to decide who will complete the task.

In this way, a competition full of fun and suspense is about to begin.

Finally, after several rounds of exciting competition, the unfortunate defeated male educated youth had to reluctantly bid farewell to the warm fire, and with a slightly pitiful step, he picked up the hot water in the kettle and prepared to wash the dishes.

He first carefully washed the dishes on the kitchen counter one by one, and then carefully placed them in the wooden cupboard.

Not only that, according to the rules agreed in advance, he also needed to undertake an extra task - go to the well to fetch a pot of cold water and put it back to its original place.

Through such a clever arrangement, when everyone sits around the fire and chats happily, they can also boil hot water for washing.
