On the way back to Zhao Jiayu from the commune, several people chatted while walking.

"By the way, old party secretary, how are the people in the working group doing?"

"I don't know either." The old party secretary shook his head, and then said: "It's still not allowed to see him, even his family members. It shouldn't be too good."

At this time, Shengli said: "I heard that I seem to have lost a lot of meat on my body, as well as tendons and other things."

"Oh! Did you ask the doctor?" Fang Yuan turned around and asked.

"No, it was two doctors talking, and I happened to hear it." Shengli shook his head and said.

"What did the doctor say?" Fangyuan asked.

"It seems that some tendons have been reattached, but some tendons cannot be reattached at all. They also say that even if they are healed, the person may be disabled."

"No! It's so serious!" Zhu Zhu said in surprise.

"Yes! It's not a big deal anyway, but it's good to survive." The old party secretary said at this time.

"Sometimes surviving may not be a good thing." Fangyuan said.

"Uh!" The old branch secretary was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Fangyuan and said nothing more.

Because he knows that Fangyuan is right! Surviving may not be a good thing, and it may even harm his family.

"Alas!" the old party secretary sighed and said, "I can only blame them for their bad luck! Although there are wolves here, they are usually in the mountains. There are very few wolves that come out of the mountains to attack people."

"That's right! Last time we went to collect firewood in the mountains, we encountered wolves, but there were so many of us that the wolves didn't dare to approach." Zhuzi nodded and said.

"Even if we chase the wolves on the mountain, they will only chase them to the foot of the mountain and then go back. I don't know what happened this time, but they actually ran out of the mountain." Shengli also shook his head and said.

I guess he is also confused!

"By the way, Fangyuan, yesterday you went to the mountain to collect firewood. Didn't the wolf follow you out?" Shengli looked at Fangyuan and asked.

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't find any wolf following me!"

"It's impossible. If he followed Fangyuan out and ran so far, why didn't he attack Fangyuan? He probably ran out before and just happened to encounter him," Zhuzhu said.

"That's right." Shengli nodded and said, "If we really followed Fangyuan, we wouldn't be able to chase him that far! Even though Fangyuan is riding a bicycle, he can't run as fast as a wolf."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, things have happened, and it's useless to say anything now." The old party secretary said.

"That's right, I just don't know who the commune will send this time. It would be best to send a few people with better temperaments," Shengli said.

Zhu Zhu curled his lips and said, "It's probably difficult. I feel like there aren't any good people in the working group."

"Shut up, it's okay to say this here, but don't say it elsewhere." The old party secretary glared at Zhu Zhu and said.

"I know the Party Secretary, I won't tell you anywhere else."

"It's good to know."

Not to mention Zhu Zhu, even the old party secretary would not dare to blatantly speak ill of those in the working group.

Soon the four of them returned to Zhao Jiayu. Because Shengli and Zhuzi were there, Fangyuan didn't pick up much things along the way.

Basically, both of them take it.

As soon as they returned to the village, the four of them were surrounded by villagers, who of course wanted to know how the people in the working group were doing.

It's a pity that not to mention Fangyuan, even the old branch secretary didn't know anything about it. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he really didn't know.

Fangyuan pulled a handful of victory and pillars, leaving the old party secretary alone to talk to the villagers. The three of them carried their things and arrived at the place where Fangyuan lived.

"Brother, are you back?" Seeing Fangyuan come in, the second sister hurriedly came over and asked.

"Um!"

"Fang Yuan, where do you put the things?" Shengli asked.

"Give me the quilt and just put the things on the floor wherever you want."

"Hey!" Shengli agreed and handed the quilt to Fang Yuan.

Then Zhuzhu put the things on the ground, and the two people went out without stopping.

People in this era are very simple. If I help you in future generations, I will stay for a meal no matter what.

Fangyuan didn't keep them because there was no need. He knew that even if he did, the two of them wouldn't stay.

Fangyuan took the quilt in and saw the duvet and sleeping bag on the kang. Fangyuan said to the second sister who followed in: "Second sister, how are you? The sleeping bag is warm!"

"Yeah! It's very warm."

"When I leave, I will keep these for you, so that you won't be cold during the winter."

"No, actually it's not cold if you live in the dormitory because there are more people in the dormitory."

Fangyuan shrugged and said, "Then I can't take you away! You'd better stay!"

"Okay! You're hungry! I'll cook for you."

"Yeah! By the way, is there still water?"

"Yes, there are plenty of them! I haven't used them much."

"Sister, don't be reluctant to use it. Now that I'm here, I can use the water as I please. If there's not enough water, I'll go get it."

"Yeah!" The second sister nodded.

Fangyuan went out to bring the things in, then opened them and took out two bottles of wine, not Maotai, but two bottles of Liangdu Laojiao.

Fortunately, there is a space, otherwise Fangyuan wouldn't even be able to take out the wine.

Of course this was not bought here, but in the imperial capital.

Liangdu Laojiao is also a good wine in this era. As long as it is good wine, you can buy it in the imperial capital, but not a lot.

Liangdu Laojiao is a type of martial arts wine produced in Gansu. To be honest, Fangyuan has never heard of it in later generations.

These two bottles of wine are for the New Year. Fangyuan will call the old branch secretary over and have a drink together.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve has arrived. In the past few days, Fangyuan has been very busy every day, either fetching water or collecting firewood.

Of course, if you have nothing to do, go to the county town and see if you can get some local bills.

Fangyuan doesn't need these things! But the second sister does. Fangyuan has already thought about getting some more local bills for the second sister before leaving.

Even if the second sister is unable to go to the county town, she can still ask the villagers to help take her there.

To be honest, the reason why the second sister is still able to survive is thanks to the food stamps and money that Fangyuan gave her before she came here.

Usually, if someone goes to the county town, the second sister will ask someone to help them buy some food from the city, such as Shaoshao or fried dough sticks.

But that's all. Although food stamps carry fuel across the country, the second sister can't come to the city, so there's no way to go to a restaurant.

But even if you can come to the city, it's useless. You can only eat vegetarian food in restaurants, such as vegetarian noodles, fried dough sticks or fire-roasted food.

It was impossible to have a good meal. Of course, because of this, the second sister basically didn’t spend much of the food stamps and money she had and had no place to spend them.

Also, the commune has sent another working group, still five people, and it is not yet clear how these five people are doing.

The main reason is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone is very busy, not only the villagers, but also the educated youth.

The educated youth are all busy, so the working group as managers is even more so.

No matter how we do it, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the food for the young people who go to the mountains and countryside must be improved. Food, meat, oil, etc. are all allocated from above.

Don’t count on the village, because the villagers themselves don’t have anything to eat!

Not to mention, the villagers are usually reluctant to give up food and clothing, but they are quite generous during the Chinese New Year.

Basically every household buys meat, but the amount varies, some families have more and some have less.

In fact, even if there were many families, the area would not exceed one kilogram. In addition to meat, every household had taken out the fine grains that they were usually reluctant to eat.

You should know that when dividing food, not all coarse grains are distributed, there are still some fine grains, but they are not willing to eat them at ordinary times, so they keep them for the New Year.

As the saying goes, who doesn’t cut off two ounces of meat during the Chinese New Year? What I should be talking about is the current situation.

Today is thirty, and Fangyuan has also prepared meatballs. This is to respect God, and of course, to respect our ancestors.

Although he and his second sister were the only two people here, they still needed to prepare.

It's just that the meat dumpling he prepared is a bit big. The meat dumpling alone is much bigger than the meat cut by other people.

Not only that, but for such a big piece of meat, Fangyuan prepared three pieces.

In addition to these, Fangyuan has also produced oil in the past few days and fried a lot of crispy meat, fried cakes and so on.

Of course, it’s Chinese New Year, how can we miss out on chicken, fish, meat and eggs? These square balls have already been prepared.

However, these are not much prepared. There are two fish, weighing about five or six kilograms. I will eat one on the night of the 30th and one on the first night of the new year.

In the old saying, this is called having more than every year, just one end and one beginning. Thirty is the end of a year, and the first day of the lunar month is the beginning of the year.

Fangyuan also prepared about five kilograms of eggs. Although it is not much, it is enough for the New Year.

We have prepared a lot of meat, including mutton, beef, pork, etc. Fangyuan has prepared a lot of it.

Two days ago, Fangyuan went out, saying he was going to the county town. He walked around a bit and brought back two chickens and two rabbits.

Regarding Fangyuan, both the old party secretary and the villagers were speechless.
