The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Upon hearing this, the group's eyes lit up immediately. They stopped looking at the meat and excitedly pushed her outside.

You know, the meat sent from Su Yuanyuan's family is much better than what's sold here, and there are all kinds of pastries. They think Su Yuanyuan's family must be rich or powerful.

Otherwise, where would they get so many good things? As for why they were sent-down youth when the conditions were so good, they tacitly refrained from asking.

As they left the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw a group of people driving a tractor with several large boxes on it. Zhang Zhiying stopped one of the female educated youths.

"Comrade, what's that for?"

The female educated youth smiled and said, "Those are leaders from the commune. They said they're going to show a movie in the construction brigade tonight."

They exchanged a glance, then quickened their pace and walked back. They needed to hurry back to put their things down, grab some stools, and reserve a spot.

Not long after we got back to the village, the loudspeaker came on, announcing that everyone was going to see a movie that evening.

They put down their things without delay, grabbed their stools, and went out. The movie was being shown next door, and if they went any later, they wouldn't be able to get a good spot.

When they arrived at the construction brigade, there were already quite a few people sitting there, and many of them were simply eating their meals right there. Zhang Zhiying and Liu Yan quickly ran over and found an open space a little closer to the front.

Su Yuanyuan and Li Hongmei sat down next to them, and Su Yuanyuan took out a few peach shortbreads from her handbag and gave them to them.

"Eat something first. I probably won't be able to eat dinner tonight. I have some more here if you need more."

Liu Yan took the peach shortbread and took a bite. "That's wonderful! You're like a bodhisattva who saved me from suffering."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Hongmei covered her mouth, glanced around cautiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one was paying attention. She then tapped Liu Yan's forehead in annoyance.

"You really dare to say anything. If anyone hears you, you'll be in trouble."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She let Li Hongmei scold her, looking at her with gratitude in her eyes.

Su Yuanyuan smiled helplessly. This wasn't the first time; she was really worried that something might happen to her one day.

After that, they rarely spoke, silently eating their peach shortbread while trying to avoid the children's gaze, afraid that one of them might come and ask for it.

It's not that they don't want to give, but there are too many children here. If they give to one, the others will definitely want it too. Besides, it's not their own stuff anyway, so how could they bother Su Yuanyuan?

It got dark quickly, and the threshing ground was soon full. There were still many people who couldn't find a spot, and those who could climb trees mostly climbed up to sit.

Those who couldn't climb trees and hadn't secured a spot were unwilling to leave and stood at a distance waiting.

The projectionist fiddled with things for a while, and then the movie officially started as the music began.

The movie "Tunnel Warfare" was playing, and the only sound in the threshing ground was the movie's audio; even the children watched quietly.

As the plot unfolds, people will occasionally gasp in amazement, and seeing the hero suffer, many will grit their teeth and wish they could rush up and kill the enemy.

Upon seeing the victory, everyone stood up and cheered. Su Yuanyuan was also caught up in the atmosphere and cheered along with everyone.

After the movie ended, people went home in twos and threes, still commenting on the film.

Zhang Zhiying and Liu Yan were also having a lively discussion, while Su Yuanyuan and Li Hongmei followed behind, listening quietly and occasionally chiming in.

Not long after, the weather turned cold, and the leaves fell off overnight, making people immediately realize that winter had arrived.

Zhang Zhiying and the other two rarely went out when they had nothing to do. Su Yuanyuan would occasionally go out to collect some firewood, always worried that there wouldn't be enough for winter.

When it got even colder, Su Yuanyuan didn't want to go out anymore; they stayed indoors, eating sunflower seeds and chatting.

Li Hongmei eventually bought the yarn and started learning to knit. If she made a mistake or wasn't satisfied with a particular part, she would unravel it and start knitting again.

Liu Yan always said that she was just messing around, and by the time she finished knitting, winter would be over. Li Hongmei just smiled and watched her without arguing.

Su Yuanyuan has been here for more than half a year. She used to be busy working every day, and now that she has suddenly become idle, she is still a little unaccustomed to it.

Sometimes she would chat with the system for a few minutes, but it rarely replied. Sometimes it would make a human-like joke, and sometimes it would simply not respond.

She knew the system was updating frequently, but she didn't know what the new user had complained about. She felt that if the system had any consciousness, it must have already broken down.

Su Yuanyuan no longer had any intention of beating him up; she just hoped she would never run into him again. Having such a colleague was truly a blessing.

Soon it was December, and after a night of snow, people who had been staying at home began to come out and shovel snow.

After everyone had finished sweeping the snow in front of their own houses, the brigade would organize people to clear the snow from the roads. Those who swept the snow would also be paid work points, and although the pay was small, many people still eagerly took the job.

After the sweeping was almost finished, the brigade leader found an experienced person in the village to slaughter the pigs. This year, because they were not fed well, the pigs they raised only weighed a little over 100 jin (50 kg).

On the day of the pig slaughter, everyone arrived early. When catching the pig, the team leader was worried. There was a pig that hadn't grown up yet. It would be a pity to kill it, but if they didn't kill it, there wouldn't be enough meat to go around.

“Captain, the construction brigade has an extra pig,” the secretary suggested to the captain. “Why don’t we lend them one and return the other next year?”

It turns out that among the educated youth who came to the construction brigade this year, there was one who was very good at raising pigs. All the pigs he raised could grow to more than 200 jin (100 kg).

They only need to slaughter two animals this year to make enough meat for themselves, and another one has already grown to 170 or 180 pounds.

“That’s a good idea,” the scorekeeper agreed, “but I don’t know if they’ll be willing to do it.”

"I'll go and discuss it with them." After saying that, the brigade leader rode his bicycle to the construction brigade.

They weren't idle either; they quickly slaughtered a pig, cleaned up, and waited for the captain to return.

The captain returned shortly afterward, and the secretary quickly went to greet him, asking, "What happened?"

"It's all for nothing! We spent ages trying to persuade them, but they refused. They said it would be better to kill them and give the rest to their team than to lend them the money."

Come to think of it, which pig, after all the effort of raising it to adulthood, wouldn't want to get a bigger share of the meat?

The captain pondered for a while, then said, "Kill the smaller one and cut it into pieces."

The secretary hesitated for a long time before finally sighing and telling the commune members to catch pigs.

When it was time to distribute the meat, the commune members lined up on their own, while the children ran around the pork.

Because Su Yuanyuan and her three friends had a slightly higher work point count than others while digging the irrigation ditch, each of them received 2 jin of pork.

The day was busy from early morning until three or four in the afternoon before the distribution was finally finished.

Each household walked home contentedly with their meat. Su Yuanyuan glanced at the pig offal in the basin and noticed that no one was asking about it or taking any.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't rush over to ask. The group returned to the house and happily discussed how to eat the meat.
