Lin Xi had never eaten rabbit meat, and she couldn't eat it for such a cute animal.

Chu Sheng saw her embarrassment and said, "Brother Yuan, leave that one alive to me, I'll exchange the chicken for you, how about it?" Yuan He was stunned, he couldn't accept Chu Sheng's inexplicable overtures for a while, but Chu Sheng opened his mouth, and when Lin Xi looked at him with expectant eyes, his heart softened.

Turning his head to look at the others, he asked, "What do you think about this deal?"

Everyone agreed, Chu Sheng took out the chicken in the warehouse and showed it to everyone, the chicken was not small, and there was really no loss. Lin Xi looked at Chu Sheng gratefully, and Chu Sheng just smiled back. Yuan He watched the interaction between the two and felt that he couldn't understand Chu Sheng more and more.

Lin Xi was in a much better mood, took out the meat in the storage space, cut a piece, and made braised pork for everyone. At the dinner table, Zhao Heng said with regret: "Lin Xi, if you are still in the Zhiqing point, we will leave the cooking to you, and this skill can burn the table." Yuan He glared at him: "Would you praise people? If you have good skills, you will cook and eat for you every day, you eat other people's things, and you want to make people work more, then there is such a good thing." ”

Zhao Heng patted his mouth in annoyance and said, "That's not what I mean, I mean that as long as you are responsible for cooking, we will take care of the rest of the work, and we will share the work in the field for you." You don't have to do anything but cook. ”

Wang Yuan pointed to the braised pork and said, "You are responsible for buying meat, and I am responsible for asking Lin Zhiqing to cook for us, what do you think?" Zhao Heng patted Wang Yuan's shoulder: "You think it's beautiful, where did I get the meat ticket?" "This is not over, Lin Zhiqing's craftsmanship, go and cook wild vegetables for us, not to spoil other people's craftsmanship." ”

Zhao Heng was speechless, and stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth. The atmosphere on the table suddenly cooled. Lin Xi sensed that something was wrong and looked at Yuan He with inquiring eyes. Yuan He looked at everyone, and he didn't hide it, and talked about the educated youth.

Years ago, Han Meifang was short of food, and she had been rubbing everyone's food, and after the year, she didn't know where she got the food, but this food was too much, it was all the food of the next year, and once she found that the food she took out was moldy. This matter made everyone very dissatisfied, Yuan He made a fuss about it, Han Meifang and the male intellectuals quarreled, and then Yuan He wanted to eat separately from the female intellectuals, but it didn't work, and the matter was mixed like this, but everyone was holding their breath in their hearts.

Chu Sheng looked at the dull atmosphere at the dinner table, rolled his eyes, and told him what he had seen Han Meifang and Li Qi before, the educated youths didn't know about it, Zhao Heng grabbed Chu Sheng and asked, "Really? Don't believe it. ”

Chu Sheng's words made the male intellectuals see hope, if Han Meifang is really going to get married, then their bad days are about to come to an end. Fang Chuanzhi picked up the teapot and said: "Don't think about these unhappy things, I said a good thing, I'm leaving, the admission notice has come, I'll leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then happy, Fang Chuanzhi waited for so long, and finally got the admission notice, thinking that this big brother was leaving, a faint sadness spread again. Fang Chuanzhi looked at everyone's changing expressions, deliberately pretended to be unhappy and said, "What's the matter, aren't you happy for me?" Come, raise your glass and congratulate me." ”

Everyone raised their cups, a cup of coarse tea for you to see you off, after this go, thousands of miles apart, only blessings, with you always there. How much friendship is in this.

This big brother has been in this land for eight years, and the people of the Zhiqing Point have been more or less taken care of by him. For Fang Chuanzhi, everyone respects him, not because of his age, but because of a sincere heart to treat people. Everyone turned the topic to Fang Chuanzhi and asked about Fang Chuanzhi's future plans, Fang Chuanzhi smiled and talked about his dream - he wanted to become a geological prospector. "Our country is vast and rich in materials, but the good things are buried in the ground, hidden in places that we have not yet discovered. If I could find it, we wouldn't have to live such a hard life, but if we had the materials, we would be able to do construction, and there would be hope for a change in the status quo, right?"

For a while, everyone looked at Fang Chuanzhi with surprised eyes, this young man said his inner thoughts for the first time, and such thoughts also ignited everyone's enthusiasm. "Smack, smack. Zhao Heng took the lead in applauding, and everyone agreed, Yuan He raised his glass again: "Come, cheers to Brother Fang's dream, to the dreams of all of us!"

After the banquet was dismissed, Lin Xi went back to the kitchen to get busy, Chu Sheng saw that his sister was going to prepare something for Fang Chuanzhi, pursed his lips, swallowed the question he wanted to ask back into his stomach, and silently gave Lin Xi a hand.

Lin Xi couldn't explain to Chu Sheng why the scars on her face had disappeared so quickly, and she couldn't tell this child that the system had helped her. On the other hand, she really didn't want to deceive this innocent child, so she didn't think about how to explain it for a while, so she simply didn't say anything.

Lin Xi concentrated on his work, made a lot of shelf-stable snacks, and thought about taking out five catties of national food stamps from his small treasury as a farewell gift. Lin Xi was busy, but the Chu family had already made a fuss.

Chu Dagen went up the mountain today, but it was dark, and the people hadn't come back yet. Widow Tian was also anxious, and found Third Uncle Chu, Third Uncle Chu sent his son to look for a circle, and almost asked all the people who went up the mountain today, but no one was found. The sky was getting darker and darker, and Third Uncle Chu's heart became more and more uneasy, and he asked the eldest daughter-in-law, and Widow Tian told the reason why Chu Dagen went up the mountain.

She has always complained that Chu has poor food, and if she can't raise her body well, she can't give birth to Chu Dagen, and Chu Dagen also wants to make up for her daughter-in-law, but the family has no money, so she wants to go up to the mountain to hunt game, which is also meat. asked Tang Jianguo for leave, saying that he went up to the mountain to collect some medicine, but he actually went to catch game.

After listening to Widow Tian's words, Third Uncle Chu said angrily to Widow Tian, "I'll go find someone, if he has any mistakes, you can wait for me, I'll pick your skin." ”

Tang Jianguo looked at Third Uncle Chu with an anxious face, listened patiently to Third Uncle Chu's words, and then looked at the dark night, although he was angry, the first task now was to find someone.

The loudspeaker in the village sounded, asking one from each family to meet in the big canteen.

The villagers were inexplicably summoned to the big canteen, everyone waited for Tang Jianguo to speak, and discussed in private, Tang Jianguo saw that people were almost here, so he told Chu Dagen that he had not returned for a long time after going up the mountain. Requirements: One adult male from each family, go up the mountain to find someone. There are many discussions among the villagers below, some are willing, and some are naturally unhappy. It's a big night, how dangerous it is on the mountain, if something happens to your man or father, who is it?

Chu Sheng hid in the corner, looking indifferent, he was not yet an adult, and he didn't need to join in the fun. When the villagers began to sign up to form a team, Chu Sheng withdrew.

In the dark night, a clear male voice stopped him: "Chu Sheng." Chu Sheng turned around, saw Yuan He, and asked coldly: "What's the matter?" Yuan He walked up to him, didn't speak, but stared straight at Chu Sheng for a while, Chu Sheng behaved very calmly, and said, "What's the matter? Hurry up, I'm going back to accompany my sister, she will be scared alone." Yuan He felt that this kid was talking impulsively, but he didn't care about this, he reached out and wanted to pull Chu Sheng's sleeve, but Chu Sheng turned sideways slightly and avoided it. Yuan He's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, this is practiced." ”

Chu Sheng didn't answer, his eyes were full of impatience. Yuan He looked at him deeply and said, "Let's go up to the side to talk, there are many people on this road." Chu Sheng followed Yuan He for a while, although this place was remote, it was empty. Yuan He said straight to the point: "I also went up the mountain today, just behind you," After speaking, Yuan He observed Chu Sheng's facial expression, still with an indifferent look, and didn't even move his eyebrows. Yuan He continued: "After that, I also met Chu Dagen, and he went in the same direction as you. Have you ever seen him?" Chu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and his tone became even colder, "You mean, Chu Dagen's disappearance has something to do with me?"

"It's not just you who know. Yuan He's eyes were burning, Chu Sheng did not retreat, and was about to leave with a light snort. Yuan He saw that he didn't get oil and salt, and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he just warned him not to make trouble for Lin Xi. Chu Sheng's footsteps stopped slightly, and he strode away again.

Lin Xi was a little anxious, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, she didn't know what was going on, but there was no big deal, Tang Jianguo would not let everyone gather so late, what was the big deal, it was necessary like this, could it be that Chu Dagen's matter was exposed. Lin Xi's face became more and more pale, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

When the courtyard door was pushed open, Lin Xi was startled, and his feet were weak and almost didn't fall to the ground.

Chu Sheng looked at the panicked Lin Xi, hugged her, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? I'm scared of you?" Lin Xi's voice was still a little trembling, pulling Chu Sheng, and asking, "Is there something wrong with Chu Dagen?" Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi who was about to cry, knowing that there was no way to hide this from his sister, and said, "Sister, don't panic, it's no big deal, you come into the house with me." ”

Chu Sheng helped Lin Xi, who was frightened and weak, into the house, lowered his voice and said, "Chu Dagen hasn't come down the mountain yet, I don't know why?" But, sister, you must not tell anyone else about the things on the mountain today, understand?" Lin Xi only felt a little confused in his head, and nodded indiscriminately.

Chu Sheng put Lin Xi's cold hand into his palm and said, "Sister, I promise, when we left, Chu Dagen was still alive, and I saw that he was fine, so I left." ”

Lin Xi was a little relieved, and Chu Sheng handed over a glass of water, which warmed his underwater stomach and soothed Lin Xi's uneasy emotions. Calm down, Lin Xi remembered that Chu Sheng just hit him with a stick, how much strength can a half-old child have, most of them fainted, she didn't see Chu Dagen bleeding, it shouldn't be okay if there is no bleeding, it's just a stick, it should be fine. Lin Xi comforted himself.
