Driving the horse-drawn carriage, Jiang Sen and Wang Jianguo did not go to the team headquarters first, but returned to the educated youth settlement first.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Without disturbing anyone, they parked the carriage and led the horses into the cowshed.

The man crawled out of the haystack.

Jiang Sen thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Haiyang, took a two-pound fish out of the large basket, threw it into the cowshed, and then turned to leave.

"You wait here, I'll go find the captain!"

Jiang Sen gave a brief instruction and ran towards his lodgings.

Hu Zhiqing hadn't gone to sleep yet when he heard that they had brought back a lot of fish from the livestock farm. He was so excited that he didn't even put his shoes on properly before pulling Mao Jun along and running out with him.

"So many..." Hu Zhiqing was speechless.

They haven't eaten fish in so long, they've almost forgotten what it tastes like.

Mao Jun was so excited that he started dancing with joy.

"Wow! So many fish! This one's braised, this one's steamed, and hey, this big one could be made into salted fish, Captain, how about it?"

Jiang Sen said, "You guys handle it. I need to drive the carriage to the team headquarters. The captain needs to go to the farm headquarters for a meeting."

“Okay, go quickly! Don’t delay! This fish…” Hu Zhiqing was clearly hesitant.

Should I give the captain a note when I go to the team headquarters?

Let's not give it to them!

There was a fishy smell on the carriage.

Give it to me!

Reluctant to part with it!

Jiang Sen laughed, picked up a large green bar that was almost up to his waist.

"Let's send one!" Hu Zhiqing's eyes were fixed on the fish.

It's too big. If you make fish soup from it, it would be enough for everyone.

Jiang Sen said, "It's no big deal! If you want some, you can get more from the livestock farm next time!"

"We can still take it?" Hu Zhiqing's eyes lit up. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Wang Haiyang laughed and said, "It's okay, they're tired of eating it every day! Next time we can just get some mushrooms or something and trade with them, right?"

Hu Zhiqing then smiled and nodded, "That's great, really great! They lack mushrooms, we lack fish, this is perfect!"

Jiang Sen drove the horse-drawn carriage to the team headquarters.

Wang Weimin was waiting for him.

"You're back pretty quickly!" he said with a smile, his eyes already fixed on the large fish that Jiang Sen had taken down from the carriage.

“This was brought back from the livestock farm!” Jiang Sen said. “We kept one for ourselves, and this one was brought to the team leader.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Weimin deliberately put on a stern face, "How can this be? This is a one-time exception! Hey you!" He called to someone inside, "Cadre Zhao, take the fish to the canteen and give the comrades an extra meal later!"

Jiang Sen didn't care how he handled it. He handed over the carriage, delivered the fish, and prepared to go back.

But then his expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Captain, my family sent me a sweater. When you come back from the farm headquarters, could you bring it back for me?"

"OK, no problem!"

"Then I'm going back?"

"Wait!" Wang Weimin returned to his office, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, and shoved it into Jiang Sen's hand. "Don't refuse, just take it!"

Jiang Sen accepted the gift with a smile, "Thank you, Captain! I'm off!"

Watching the departing figure, Wang Weimin's smile remained. Turning back to see Officer Zhao waiting with the fish, he whispered, "Take it over there, cut it into sections, and distribute it among a few people!"

Officer Zhao nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right now. I'll save the fish head and stew it with tofu!"

Wang Weimin remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement. He watched as Officer Zhao wrapped the fish in a raincoat and left before sitting back down at his desk.

He picked up the document and looked at it again, his brow furrowing slightly.

He picked up the phone and dialed, "Get me to the Xiangyang Brigade!"

he is very smart.

If the meeting schedule is so tight, the Xiangyang Brigade, which is the furthest away, should have been notified first, and Captain Zhou should already be on his way.

"Hello! Xiangyang Brigade? This is Wang Weimin from the Fourth Brigade. Is Captain Zhou here?... Oh, oh... Okay, when did he leave?... Oh, okay, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, he got up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, put on his hat, and went out, locking the office door behind him.

He lit a cigarette and waited a while before Officer Zhao returned.

"I went to a meeting at the farm headquarters, and that fish..."

"I've asked my wife to pack it up, and I'll take it over to them later! Give me a call after the meeting, and I'll have my wife stew the fish heads!"

Wang Weimin nodded, jumped onto the carriage, picked up the whip, and said, "Then I'm off. Keep an eye on things here!"

Jiang Sen returned to the educated youth settlement. There, a kerosene lamp was lit, and several people were sitting at the door with two large basins in the middle, cleaning fish.

When Hu Zhiqing saw him return, he adjusted his glasses with his arm and said with a smile, "Go back and rest. We'll get ready and make everyone a pot of fish soup tomorrow!"

Jiang Sen didn't leave; he squatted down and watched them pack up.

Mao Jun was quick and efficient, and the two female educated youths were equally adept at cleaning fish.

"Put these away and let them air dry so they'll keep well! Otherwise they'll go bad!" Mao Jun said. "Eat them slowly later, you go to sleep now!"

Mao Jun was very happy, talking while his hands never stopped moving.

"Go on! You've had a long day!" Hu Zhiqing urged.

"Okay! I'll head back now!"

Jiang Sen didn't stand on ceremony anymore; he was indeed very tired.

Back at his lodgings, Wang Haiyang was still awake, standing at the door looking towards the end of the path.

"What are you looking at?"

"You scared me!" Wang Haiyang pulled him aside and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Sen's expression was strange. "Really?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Let's go over and have a look!"

It was dark in the woods, and they carefully made their way forward, holding onto the trees beside them.

Soon, the road ends, and the path leads into the mountains.

I could vaguely hear something in my ears.

Jiang Sen recognizes that voice!

It's similar to what Huang Liping moans in bed.

He raised an eyebrow and could even see people having sex in the wild.

If someone sees this, it will be a big problem!

Following the sound, we walked for a while and stopped in front of several large trees.

The person was right behind the tree, and they were even talking.

"Don't worry... You promised me today, so I'll definitely get it done for you... I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted... even more naive than them..."

Jiang Sen almost burst out laughing.

While doing this, Feng Chao didn't forget to spout nonsense.

I just don't know what he promised.

"You're so naughty... After what we did today, if you don't do what you want..."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done... I'll go tomorrow..."

Wang Haiyang was dumbfounded. He never expected that the two people who were sneaking around this way were here to do this.

He looked at Jiang Sen, who glanced down at him, smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

Back at his lodgings, Wang Haiyang was awkward, unsure whether to stand or sit, his face flushed – clearly a fledgling.

Jiang Sen said, "Feng Chao and Lu Xiu are having an affair, aren't they afraid of being caught?"

"Didn't we just run into them?" Wang Haiyang said irritably, thinking about it, it was really unlucky, and he cursed again: "Damn it!"

Jiang Sen remained silent, pondering their conversation.

Although I only heard a few words.

But Lu Xiu is problematic, and Li Chaoyang also told them to keep an eye on her.

She used her body as leverage to get Feng Chao to do things for her.

What are you doing?

Is it to make contact with the Japanese, or to sabotage?

"Jiang Sen!" Wang Haiyang waved in front of Jiang Sen. "Hey, snap out of it! I've called you several times."

Jiang Sen said, "Tomorrow, you keep an eye on Lu Xiu, and I'll keep an eye on Feng Chao!"

Why am I staring at Lu Xiu?

"Then I'll keep an eye on it!"
