Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Since I can’t see for the time being, it’s impossible to know what Bian Jianguo looks like, but he can’t ignore the credit he has given.

"Captain, we found a large field of sweet potatoes on the mountain. Conservative estimates suggest there should be nearly a thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes."

Tan Yuan didn't know exactly how many kilograms of sweet potatoes she could dig, she could only roughly estimate a number.

“Sweet potato field?!”

The captain was shocked. Where did a sweet potato field come from on this mountain?!

But on second thought, it is really possible that there were people living in this mountain in the past.

Guan Jianguo should also know about the sweet potato field. He is a steady man and would not mention anything uncertain.

These nearly 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes...if they were to dig them up, their brigade's food shortage this year would be filled.

You should know that this party secretary stayed in the commune all day yesterday and went to the commune again early this morning, hoping that the commune could help him, use its connections and speak for him, and reduce the amount of public grain that Huaiyin Brigade had to pay this year.

If there were really that many sweet potatoes, then...

"Where is this sweet potato field? Can you still find it?"

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the captain became a little excited.

"If you can find it, I'll give you all a major work credit, and the team will give you full work points for the next few days."

Of course, the premise of all this is that there really is a large sweet potato field, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Tan Yuan actually didn't care about the work points, but Li Xiu seemed to need them very much, so Tan Yuan didn't push it away.

"Captain, there's also Comrade Guan Jianguo. If it weren't for him, Li Zhiqing and I might not have been able to return."

Tan Yuan recounted the story of their encounter with a wild boar in the mountains. If Linlin and Guan Jianguo had not arrived in time, she would definitely not have been able to defeat the wild boar. If she had allowed the wild boar to continue charging at her, she and Li Xiu might have been buried alive in the cave.

Guan Jianguo's situation is somewhat complicated. If he were in any other brigade, he would never be able to live the life he has now. In Shu, it is impossible for him to be credited for his achievements, but these brigade cadres will definitely remember his achievements in their hearts.

Tan Yuan didn't know the specific situation, but just by hearing the word "ingredients", she had a general idea in her mind.

She didn't say anything else. As long as the team remembered this kindness, it would be good.

Given her current situation, it is impossible for her to lead the way to find the sweet potato field. Fortunately, Nian Lin should know that this matter should be done as soon as possible. All the sweet potatoes must be dug up and brought back to the team as soon as possible so that they can feel at ease.

So just as Nian Lin had made the bed for the educated youth and was about to go to the brigade headquarters to take Tan Yuan there, he was drafted into the army by the brigade leader.

She had no objection to taking the team to the mountains to dig sweet potatoes, but Tan Yuan...

"Linlin, don't worry. I can walk slowly now. Aren't Xiuxiu, Wang Dong and the others here?"

As Tan Yuan said this, she also wanted to do the brigade a favor, so that if she wanted to follow Nian Lin back to the city to find a job a year later, the brigade would turn a blind eye out of gratitude.

After a good rest last night, Li Xiu's ankle sprain is no longer serious. She just needs to be careful and slow when walking.

She also promised Nian Lin that she would take good care of Tan Yuan.

"Tan Zhiqing's situation is special. I'll say hello to the Zhiqing community."

As the team leader said this, he now just wanted to go and see what was going on in the sweet potato field and whether it was as Tan Yuan said.

"Linlin, go ahead and bring back all our meat. It will go rancid if left in the mountains for too long."

The weather is hot now, so even if the temperature in the mountains is low, problems will easily arise if left for too long.

"And bring back some bones and organs so we can make soup."

Tan Yuan specifically reminded that wild boar meat may not be as delicious as domestic pig meat, but wild boars eat herbs and other things in the mountains all year round, and their bones, stomachs and other internal organs are very nutritious.

It was inconvenient on the mountain that day, so I just washed it roughly. I don’t know if I can wash it clean when I come back.

"Okay, I'll take a backpack with me and help you carry the wild boar meat back."

The team leader agreed. He could see that the new female educated youth should be mainly Tan Yuan.

Nian Lin finally nodded and gave Li Xiu instructions.

"Yuanyuan needs to supplement her nutrition. Stew a piece of fish and add some pickled mustard greens. Also, add some oil. Don't be reluctant."

There is still a lot of fat from the pigs in the cave. I will give some to Bian Jianguo when the time comes. The three of them will have a lot left, enough for them to eat for several months.

After explaining everything, Nian Lin carried a backpack and led the team leader and several others up the mountain.

We don’t know what the situation is on the mountain yet, and we dare not make too much fuss. The captain has to go and see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

I brought everything I needed, including hoes, sickles, machetes, and ropes. There had been heavy rain on the mountain, so there were bound to be a lot of landslides, so I had to be extra careful.

Tan Yuan no longer needs to be carried by others when she walks in and out. She can walk carefully with a wooden stick, but she cannot see and needs someone to support her.

Wang Dong helped them make the beds and hurried to work. Naturally, the task of supporting Tan Yuan fell on Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was still limping slightly, and he was supported by Tan Yuan. The two of them walked slowly, and the combination looked extremely funny.

The educated youth site was some distance away from the brigade headquarters, and the two people's appearance really attracted a lot of people's attention.

As soon as the brigade members saw the two of them, they knew that they were the ones who had been running around in the mountains and had caused all the male comrades in the brigade to miss their work all day. They all looked at them with strange eyes and pointed at them from time to time.

"It's them. They don't do any good work all day long and just run up the mountain. They've caused so many men in our team to not get a single day of work."

"These educated youth never do anything good, and instead just cause trouble. I really don't know what they are here for."

"..."

Tan Yuan's eyes were wrapped in gauze. She couldn't see and her ears were not as sensitive as Li Xiu's, but Li Xiu could see and hear everything clearly. Her face turned red as if blood was about to drip out when she was stared at.

"What's wrong with Xiuxiu?"

Feeling Li Xiu's trembling hands, Tan Yuan asked with concern.

Li Xiu shook her head: "Nothing, I was just thinking about what to do at noon."

Everything was caused by her. She deserved to be talked about by everyone. Tan Yuan had suffered from her unprovoked misfortune, and she should bear all of this.

Li Xiu sniffed, pretended nothing had happened, and helped Tan Yuan walk towards the educated youth site.

"Xiu Xiu, it's okay. If it weren't for you, how would the team have found so much rations? When the captain and the others see us and come back to announce it, we'll be the heroes of the team. Linlin and I are all thanks to you."

Even though she couldn't hear or see, Tan Yuan could guess almost everything.
