Chapter 508: Smoothing Things Over
The educated youth men and women are now unwilling to give in to each other, because they all know that because the two sides had a quarrel when dividing the pork, neither of them has found a family to raise pigs with this year. If they want to raise pigs again, they can only wait until next year to find a family to share with. Therefore, this pork may be enough for them for two years. Whoever gives in at this time would be a fool.
The excitement at the educated youth courtyard attracted many villagers to watch, but everyone was just watching the excitement and no one responded to the conversation.
Because this kind of thing is inappropriate to say, even if you "tell the truth", you will offend one of the parties, and if you are not careful, you will offend both parties, and the person who speaks will become Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither of them is a good person.
The two sides in the field are now arguing fiercely, and men are naturally inferior to women in arguing and reasoning. After a quarrel, the man is obviously suppressed.
There is a saying that even rabbits bite when they are anxious. Moreover, there are no fairies who want to keep their postgraduate studies and write essays in this era. Moreover, the average age of male educated youth is 18 or 19 years old. Even the heavy life of joining the team cannot change their impulsive age.
So the male educated youth who cannot win the female party became more and more irritable, and there were signs of fighting in the field.
Especially Niu Dechang, he originally planned to use these meats to please Wu Lili. With these meats, maybe they can become the third married educated youth in Shanghe Village. The days of living together for the two of them are simply too beautiful.
Niu Dechang walked towards the female educated youth with a fierce look, and it seemed that he wanted to fight. However, the female educated youth were not fools. They knew very well that if they fought, they would definitely not be the opponent, so they picked up the things they were convenient to pick up from the side and waited for it.
But just when everyone thought that the two sides were going to fight, the scolding of Captain Liang came from behind the crowd.
"What are you doing? Don't you have any energy to use? Then tomorrow you all go to the ground to clean corn silk and sorghum roots."
Captain Liang had just walked in when the female educated youths gathered around and started to complain.
"Captain, you know about this matter. If it weren't for our male educated youths, the pigs could have been raised for another year. Not only did they not recognize the compensation they agreed on, but now they are even going to beat people up. You have to make the decision for us."
Captain Liang knew about the conflict in the educated youth courtyard after the village slaughtered and divided the pigs last year, but they didn't bother to care about such a thankless task at the time.
But now that both sides have arrived and are ready to fight, they can't just ignore it.
"Niu Dechang, Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian and the others were present at the time. It is true that the pigs you raised were 13 pounds short of the state's purchase standard, right?"
"Yes, but."
"Don't tell me those nonsense. I'm asking you, right?"
"Yes."
"If your pigs hadn't needed to be raised for an extra year, it wouldn't be a matter of 13 pounds of meat. So it's okay for you male educated youth to make up for the difference, right?"
"No."
"It's good that you male educated youths raised pigs that yielded 13 pounds less than other pigs after slaughter. Isn't that true? Everyone knows how hard it is to get meat coupons these days, so it makes sense for the female educated youths to ask you to pay another compensation."
"Captain, this account is not the same as the wheel of a wheel."
"Shut up, listen to me first."
The male educated youths saw that Captain Liang was unhappy, so they didn't say anything at this time even if they had something to say. However, they had made up their minds that if the captain dealt with it unfairly later, they would never compromise.
Captain Liang glanced at the angry male educated youth and the happy female educated youth, filled himself with a bag of tobacco and lit it up before continuing.
"But there is a problem here, that is, the male educated youth has already compensated the female educated youth. It is not appropriate to ask the male educated youth to take out a portion alone at this time, but the female educated youth cannot get less meat for nothing.
So I propose here that when the meat is divided later, let each female educated youth take a piece as compensation. Of course, if you have a better solution, you can also talk about it.
But you can't fight, otherwise our Shanghe Village can't accommodate people like you. Don't blame me for being lenient and sending all the fights back."
Captain Liang's words made the men and women glare at each other, and then they formed two groups to discuss.
The female educated youths were Qi Ruying, Yuan Hongying, Meng Zaihong, and Shen Fang, and they gathered together and whispered.
The five male educated youths Sun Yong, Niu Dechang, Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian, and Wang Kai were also whispering.
However, the two sides discussed for a long time but could not find a good solution. The problem had to be solved as soon as possible.
Because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there was no ice cellar in the Youth Farm, if the pork was not taken out for processing, it would probably go bad in a short time.
In the end, although both the man and the woman felt that they were at a disadvantage, they could only solve the problem according to the solution given by Captain Liang.
After they agreed, Captain Liang immediately asked someone to call the best meat cutter and meat divider in the village.
In front of everyone, the meat was cut on the spot. First, 13 pounds of meat was cut out and weighed on the spot. The remaining pork was divided into pieces of similar size, and the female youths were asked to choose one piece first, and then the rest of the pork was distributed by drawing lots.
Although this matter has been resolved, the men and women in the Educated Youth Academy have completely broken up.
And with this incident, it is basically impossible for men and women in the Educated Youth Institute to find villagers as pig-raising partners. If they want to share the meat, they can only raise two pigs by themselves.
Han Li and the others returned to the clinic after seeing the excitement in the Educated Youth Institute and saying goodbye to everyone. He now planned to start processing the precious medicinal materials in the decomposition space.
When he was in Forty-Nine City, he helped "Aunt Liu" prepare "Stretch Pain Relief Cream" several times, so he now had enough medicinal materials to assist in practicing the three-body pose. He had never had time when he was in Forty-Nine City. Fiddle with.
But now he has a more profound follow-up to Xingyi Quan, the "Five Elements Yin Yang Divine Soul Sutra". Many of the medicinal materials needed overlap with the three body poses, which made Han Li a little unsure at the beginning. idea.
Is he waiting to use these medicinal materials after he has fully comprehended the "Five Elements Yin Yang Soul Sutra"? Or is it for practicing the three-body posture now?
However, the lively scene he watched in the Educated Youth Academy today made Han Li realize that there is no reference for the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Soul Sutra" at all. He still doesn't know when he will understand it thoroughly. Is it possible that if he can't understand it in his life, he will never be able to understand it? Do you practice three-body poses?
This is just like the female educated youths in the Educated Youth Academy. If they want back the initial thirteen pounds of meat as compensation, and then offer to choose a good piece of meat as compensation, I believe those male educated youths will not object at all.
Then they will still have the opportunity to cooperate in raising pigs next year, instead of being like now when they want to raise pigs and can't even find a partner, let alone the opportunity to share the meat in the future.
Therefore, a thousand birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in your hand. All you need to do now is to improve your own strength. Don't think too much like a monkey descending a mountain.
Moreover, it is better to retreat and build a net. Practicing the three postures by yourself will only make your "energy" more abundant and your foundation will become stronger. In this way, in the future, you will be able to understand the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Divine Soul Sutra". go further.
.
After the people from the Educated Youth Institute finished dividing the pork, they couldn't care less about the quarrel just now. Everyone started to get busy, some were pickling it with salt, and some wanted to secretly sell part of it for money.
Those who planned to pickle it hurried to the consignment point to buy a lot of coarse salt, and then marinated all their portions of meat.
Meng Zaihong kept some of the fatter meat for marinating. This meat was enough for her to eat until the river thawed. As for the remaining meat, she planned to ask Han Li to help exchange it for money later.
Everyone in the entire Educated Youth Institute was busy, cutting, washing, drying, and pickling the meat.
When it was time for lunch, the educated youth courtyard was filled with a strong aroma of meat. After Sun Yong and Niu Dechang cooked the meat, they sent it to Wu Lili without even taking a bite. Qi Ruying was pulled outside by Yuan Hongying and whispered. said.
"The grain we borrowed from Han Li last year has not been repaid. Should we use part of the pork we received to repay this debt?"
Qi Ruying was very unhappy when she heard this, but if she didn't return it, she would definitely not be able to hold on to the grain distribution. What would Han Li do if he didn't lend it to him at that time?
But then she thought that the old educated youth seemed to be able to advance part of the food from the village, so she shouldn't pay back what she owed Han Li in a hurry. He didn't ask her for it anyway, so she looked at her roommate and said.
"I told my family about raising pigs when I went home this year, so after the pork is marinated, I have to send some of it back, and the rest can only be used to satisfy my cravings, so I owe Han Li the money I plan to pay back part of it after the harvest this autumn.”
"But isn't this bad? We promised to return the food to others after we distributed it, but we didn't mention it when we went home. Now that the harvest has been postponed until this year's autumn, what will people think of us? And my food is also insisted on. It’s not time to distribute food.”
Qi Ruying looked at her roommate who had the best relationship with her, but she couldn't express her thoughts, so she could only say helplessly.
"The two of us are already old educated youths this year. According to the previous rules, we can borrow food from the village for emergencies. This way we will have no problem holding on until the food is distributed. Wouldn't it be the same if we return it to Han Li at that time?"
Yuan Hongying always felt that what Qi Ruying said was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she could only acquiesce to her roommate's choice.
After lunch, the sisters went to the consignment point, and Han Li lay lazily on the kang and took a nap. After getting up, she felt refreshed and went to the health room to deal with the medicinal materials. However, it wasn't long before Meng Zaihong opened the door and walked in carrying a snakeskin bag. She sat directly next to Han Li and said.
"You started playing with medicinal materials again. I asked you why you didn't go to the consignment point to play badminton today."
"I have to do my job well as a hygienist. You are so energetic and carrying a bag, don't you think you are here to see me?"
"I just came to see you, but it seems a little inconvenient here. How about we change to another place and you can give me a good check-up."
