Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Several teenagers pulled Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu to the top of a long, steep slope. Ji Han tactfully gave each of them a dime, then pushed off with his foot, and the sled slid down the slope in a flash.

"Ah ...

The empty hillside echoed with Shi Shaoyu's "melodious" tone. When the sled reached the river, Ji Han, relying on sheer force, miraculously managed to stop the sled in a dragon-tail-like drift.

"Hahahaha, that was so much fun! Lao Ji, let's do it again!"

Ji Han glanced at the height of the hillside, considering the difficulty of climbing it himself, and decisively shook his head in refusal.

"Unless you pull me up from here!"

If it were the old Shi Shaoyu, even if he wanted to play, he wouldn't be able to pull him up. But now that he has the power buff, Shi Shaoyu really is like an old ox, pulling Ji Han back to the top of the slope. This made the teammates who never thought much of his stamina look at him with new respect.

It turns out that Shi Zhiqing wasn't unwell; he was just genuinely lazy. Everyone looked at the thin and frail-looking Ji Han and shook their heads: "Hmm, judging from how much Shi Zhiqing dotes on Ji Zhiqing, it seems that Ji Zhiqing is the one who's truly weak."

Zhang Xingyi, who knew the two men's physical abilities intimately, shook his head almost imperceptibly as he listened to the people around him chattering about them.

When Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu slid down the slope again, the rest of the group had almost all reached the river below.

Ji Han saw the captain following behind an old man smoking a pipe, checking something on the ice. After the two of them circled around for a long time, the old man finally determined the location where they would be looking for big eyes today.

Once the location was decided, the men, young and old, automatically found their spots, drilled two rows of holes in the ice facing the chosen area, threaded the net through the ice, and then waited for the big fish to enter the net.

The master craftsman is indeed a master craftsman; the location he chose is extraordinary. Even before the net was pulled out of the water, everyone knew that this time the harvest would be plentiful.

At this moment, the older women and aunties behind also gathered around, waiting for the big fish to come out of the water so they could help carry things onto the sled.

Of course, Ji Han followed behind the children, strictly forbidden by their parents from getting too close. At this time, the area in front was chaotic, and if he accidentally fell into an ice hole, he could get sick or even die.

The steaming fishing net was finally pulled out of the water by everyone's best efforts. Inside the net were countless large fish crammed together. After being pulled onto the ice, these fish quickly froze solid in the frigid temperature.

Looking at the bountiful harvest, the surrounding team members were all beaming with joy. This was the first time Ji Han had ever personally handled a fish weighing twenty or thirty pounds. He was certain that if he hadn't taken some health-boosting pills, he would have been completely exhausted just trying to move the fish from the ice to the sled with his small frame.

The lively fishing operation continued until dark, but even then, no one went home. Instead, they gathered in the open space in front of the brigade headquarters with torches.

The purpose is self-evident: to divide the fish!

This time, the fish were distributed directly according to the number of people. Even Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, the two educated youths who were at the bottom of the work points, each received three fish: two large and one small. In addition, Ji Han specially bought five large fish from families with more members.

Anyway, it's freezing cold outside, so it's like an open-air refrigerator. Even if we have too much fish, we don't have to worry about it spoiling before we can eat it.

After the grand winter fishing season, the New Year is just around the corner. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are in their first year in the countryside, so they are not eligible to ask for leave to go home for the holidays. However, those older educated youth who are eligible have already asked for leave to go home before the roads are blocked by heavy snow.

Finally, this year, in addition to the five new educated youth, there were five old educated youth left at the educated youth settlement for the New Year, two men and three women. Since it was the New Year, everyone discussed it and decided to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu couldn't cook, so they only contributed a fish and a pheasant. The pheasant was delivered by Gangzi through Zhang Beishan before the New Year. Du Guowei didn't have much food, so he and two other female educated youths were mainly responsible for cooking. The rest of the people also contributed some ingredients.

The meal was served in the main hall of the house. In winter, the rooms on both sides were always heated by kang (heated brick beds), and the back half of the main hall was the kitchen, so it wasn't too cold to eat there.

The meal was served, consisting of five meat dishes and five vegetable dishes. In addition to the chicken and fish provided by Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, there were also stir-fried pork slices with vinegar, stewed pork ribs with pickled cabbage, and four-happiness meatballs. The vegetable dishes were stir-fried cabbage, hot and sour shredded vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts, and two stir-fried mountain delicacies.

In addition, each person also had an equal amount of homemade wine in front of them. This wine was the private collection of Sun Zhiqing, the person in charge of the educated youth settlement. Sun Zhiqing really went all out to bring out such a precious private collection for everyone to drink.

"Friends, let's raise our glasses! Whether you're new friends or old friends, it's a great blessing that we can all gather together to celebrate the New Year from all over the world. Let's toast to this blessing and to our friendship!"

As expected of the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, Sun was quite eloquent. Everyone gave him face and raised their teacups, clinking them together. Of course, they didn't actually drink to the cup; instead, they all tacitly took a sip.

As the strong liquor went down their throats, everyone quickly became excited, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more lively. They sang songs, performed operas, and even Sun Zhiqing went inside to bring out a harmonica and performed a piece for everyone.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu didn't know when they fell asleep that night. After all, they were only sixteen after the New Year and hadn't drunk much alcohol at home before. So they drank too much and both of them passed out at the dinner table. Later, according to Du Guowei, he was the one who helped the boy into the house, and Li Yan helped the girl into the house.

“Hiss! Ah! It hurts!”

Ji Han's first feeling upon waking up was that there was a nerve in his head that was throbbing painfully. Shi Shaoyu, who was next to him, wasn't much better off.

"Ji and Shi, you're awake. Get up and wash up first. Li got up early this morning and made some hangover soup for everyone. Get up and have a bowl."

"Oh, right, you guys better hurry, or the kids from the team will be knocking on the door soon!"

Ji Han and his companion were naturally unwilling to be trapped in bed by a group of people, so they forced themselves to get up and wash. After finishing the hangover soup, they placed the plate of nuts and candies that they had prepared earlier in the most conspicuous position on the kang table.
