The life of a female cannon fodder

4

Arriving at Hongqi Commune, the two got off the car and rushed to the Tuanjie Brigade with their luggage on their backs. The way back was obviously more difficult than the way there. Shi Nier was used to it and didn't sweat at all. Li Qiu followed her and tried not to fall behind. Halfway through the journey, Shi Nier insisted on exchanging backpacks with Li Qiu. She carried Li Qiu's heavy backpack and he carried her light backpack. Even so, it was already dark when they arrived at the team. Li Qiu and Shi Nier exchanged backpacks, and one went home while the other temporarily went back to the Youth Farm to put things away.

When she arrived at the Youth Farm, the other educated youth were not there. Li Qiu entered her own small house and saw that there was a kang and a small stove inside. Although the space inside was not large, it was still good for one person to live in. She was very satisfied.

She closed the door and controlled the wind to blow out all the dust inside. After drying the moisture in the house and the kang, she put down the backpack, prepared the wages for the villagers who helped her repair the house, and packed the fruit hard candies she bought today and took one to the team leader to ask him to help give it to the villagers who helped.

There were still sixteen buns left from the buns bought today. Li Qiu kept ten for herself and wrapped the remaining six separately. This was a thank-you gift for the team leader. Finally, she covered the windows with window paper in the dark. When she finished and locked the door, the educated youth pushed the door open and came in. Some of them were holding some unknown plant stems in their hands. The elder brothers Jiang Yue and Hu Weiguo were holding something in their arms. Li Qiu took a closer look and found that they were two pheasants.

"Li educated youth, you are back."

Li Qiu smiled and greeted them, and took out a bottle of Zhen Hanzi pickled peppers in her hand: "This is the pickled peppers I brought from the capital. Everyone, try it. It goes well with rice."

The pickled peppers were from Li Qiu's space. She tore off the packaging and scraped off the logo on the bottle cap, and there was no sign that it was not something from this world.

The delicate and frail little girl was carrying a bottle that was bigger than her head. Jiang Yue quickly handed the pheasant in her hand to the person next to her and took the bottle of pickled peppers. After taking it, she weighed it and said, "It must be about ten kilograms."

"Exactly ten kilograms." Ten kilograms of pickled peppers were her token of loyalty.

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Li Zhiqing, for the pickled peppers. We will have a good meal tonight. Everyone is happy."

Everyone cheered and helped to boil water and pluck feathers. Some of the educated youths contributed their own fine grains mixed with the coarse grains of the Zhiqingyuan to make steamed buns, and some took out dried mushrooms that had been dried before to stew chicken. It was very lively.

Li Qiu was pushed out to cook a dish. She looked at the steamed buns made of sorghum flour, corn flour, sweet potato flour and Fuqiang flour, and then looked at the pheasant stewed with mushrooms in the stove. She took the chicken offal and diced the pickled peppers and fried a spicy chicken offal.

The pickled peppers were very pungent after being put into the pot. The educated youth in the kitchen were driven out by the smell. Li Qiu used her supernatural powers openly in the kitchen without any problems. After the spicy chicken offal was taken out of the pot and the wild vegetable dry soup was cooked, the smell in the kitchen dissipated a little.

There were three dishes for dinner, wild vegetable soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms and spicy chicken offal, accompanied by steamed buns made the whole Youth House feel like Chinese New Year. Jiang Yue led a few old Youths to say some words to welcome the new ones, and also mentioned the busy farming season that would start in a few days. The group of people waited for Shi Nier to come and call Li Qiu before they dispersed.
