Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 275 Zheng Qin Returns

After Liu Jingxue came back from the cowshed, she entered the space.

The next afternoon, Tuanzi reminded her that Zhang Guiying was visiting outside, so she changed her clothes and left the space.

After putting on the cotton coat and trousers that had been left on the kang to dry, Liu Jingxue put on her boots and went to open the door.

When she left the house, she realized that the snow that was falling from the sky had stopped at some point.

Liu Jingxue suddenly realized that Tuanzi did not ask her to get up last night or this morning to clear the snow from the cowshed and the roof of her house.

I think the snow stopped last night.

After opening the gate, Liu Jingxue saw Zhang Guiying standing outside and quickly greeted her, "Sister Guiying, why are you here?

It's too cold outside, please come inside and sit down."

Zhang Guiying shook her head, "Xiaoxue, I won't go in.

I came here to tell you that this morning when my father delivered the game to the commune, he also delivered this year's task pigs.

The pigs left in the village were killed today along with the prey left by our production team.

The meat will be distributed soon, including pork raised by the production team, meat from game, and dishes from slaughtering pigs.

Remember to go to the cafeteria later.

Don't forget to take your big basin. Don't take the small one, take the big one."

"Okay, Sister Guiying, I understand.

Wait a moment, I'll be there."

Zhang Guiying nodded, "Then I'll go over first, don't forget to come over later."

Zhang Guiying turned and left. After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned back to instruct Liu Jingxue.

"Xiaoxue, when we distribute the meat later, remember to ask for less or no wolf meat. Wolf meat is not tasty and is too sour.

However, you can ask for a few more wolf skins. They are warmer than sheepskin and have a certain degree of waterproofness.

You go to town many times in the winter, and sometimes you have to go into the mountains, so it is necessary to have a wolfskin coat. "

"Sister Guiying, I understand.

I will ask for less wolf meat and more wolf skins later."

Liu Jingxue took Zhang Guiying's reminder to heart and planned to ask for a few more wolf skins later.

The last time she hunted, she got some tanned wild boar skins, wool, and deerskins, which had already been dried in the space.

There were several sheepskins and deerskins stored in her space warehouse, but she didn't know how to tan them, so they were left there.

The last time she delivered fish from the fish pond to the cowshed, she also sent them unprocessed sheep and deer, and she didn't know how the skins were processed.

Do they just throw it away, or do they have people who can tan the leather?

If they know how, I can give the leather to them to have it tanned to avoid waste.

"Ask when the meat is delivered in the evening."

When Liu Jingxue arrived at the cafeteria carrying her load, many people were already queuing there.

She was about to carry her load and stand at the end of the line when she was stopped by the villagers.

"Liu Zhiqing, you don't have to queue here."

Liu Jingxue was full of questions, "Why? Isn't this team lining up to share the meat?"

“There is a queue for sharing the meat, but you don’t have to queue.

If you join the hunting team and go into the mountains to hunt, you can get priority in getting the meat.

The last time a pack of wolves entered the village, you were the one who discovered it in advance and notified the villagers. In the past two days, you have killed a lot of wolves, so you can get the meat first."

"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, you don't need to queue up, just go over there when the meat is distributed."

Other villagers also echoed.

When Liu Jingxue heard that there was no need to queue, that was exactly what she wanted.

If she stood there, with villagers standing in front and behind her, she would be chased by them and asked all kinds of questions, and she would not be able to refuse to answer them, so she was really a little scared.

After thanking the villagers, Liu Jingxue looked for Zhang Yingchun and Xia Lan in the queue.

Among the educated youth at the educated youth point, she was more familiar with these two, after all, they had eaten a lot of melons together.

When she saw the two of them, she discovered Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang among the group of educated youth.

Weren't they both on vacation and at home? Why are they back?

It's not a month and a half holiday.

Liu Jingxue quickly calculated that the two of them had taken their vacation in the first two days of mid-November. Now it was already late December, and the one and a half month vacation was really about to end.

Time flies so fast. I didn’t expect that a month and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Jingxue suddenly remembered that Li Jie seemed to be on vacation with them, also for a month and a half, so he had to come back as well.

For more than a month, he and his men have been searching in the mountains, but he doesn't know if they have found anything.

She didn't ask the monkey or thunder god yesterday.

But she didn't dare to ask. After all, this was a secret. Even if she was the one who reported it, it was not easy for her to find out too much.

Do the soldiers know that Li Jie is going to miss the vacation?

They should be clear about this. After all, when I informed them before, I told them that Li Jie would have a month and a half vacation.

I don’t know what Li Jie’s plan is.

Should I continue searching in the mountains and never come back here, becoming an educated youth who is avoiding going to the countryside, or should I honestly return to the production team and let others search there?

Now Li Jie and his gang should be under the close surveillance of the military. If there is anything unusual happening there, the soldiers will notice it at the first time, so there should be no need for him to report it himself.

Liu Jingxue planned to ask the people at the educated youth site to see if they had any news.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue walked towards the group of educated youth.

After greeting everyone, Liu Jingxue deliberately said, "I saw Zheng Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing in the back just now, and I thought I was seeing things.

Later I calculated that your one and a half month vacation is indeed about to expire, so it’s not surprising that you are here.”

Qin Fang replied, "Originally there were still a few days left, but we were worried that the snow would pile up more and more as time went on, and the trains would stop running. We would not be able to return by then, and that would be troublesome.

So I had to come back two days earlier.”

Liu Jingxue expressed her understanding.

She casually added, “Li Zhiqing is on vacation with you, so his vacation should be over too.

It looks like he will be back in the next two days."

"Then you guessed wrong. Li Zhiqing will not come back in the short term," Zhang Yingchun replied.

Liu Jingxue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is that? Isn't it only a month and a half of vacation?"

Zhang Yingchun explained, “The day before yesterday, the team leader went to the educated youth point to inform us that when he led people to send the wolves to the commune, the commune secretary told him a piece of news.

It is said that after Li Jie returned home, he accidentally broke his leg a few days ago. He is still lying in the hospital and will not be able to return in the short term.

They said they would extend the holiday, tentatively by two months.

I don’t know whether the period will be extended further. After all, there’s an old saying that it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone.

But he promised that he would be back before the spring ploughing season. "

"The commune secretary is so easy to talk to. He agreed to extend the vacation for two months with just a phone call. Who knows if he is lying?" Liu Zhaodi said from the side.

Chen Guoqing said, "I guess the person who called the commune secretary must be someone important, otherwise the commune secretary wouldn't give in so easily."

"Didn't the team leader say that the commune secretary required Li Zhiqing to have a certificate from the hospital where he had his leg treated when he returned?

Otherwise, a note would be made in his file, saying that he pretended to be sick to avoid labor and disobeyed arrangements during his time in the countryside," Xia Lan explained.

Zheng Jianmin said, "We haven't figured out whether the matter is true or not yet, so let's not talk nonsense.

If Li Zhiqing really broke his leg, it would be a bit hurtful to say this.

Besides, with his precedent, if we encounter any accidents and cannot return in time, we will have a precedent to follow."

Liu Jingxue thought to herself that Li Jie was obviously stalling for time.

If he found something in the mountains, he would definitely not come back.

If an educated youth escapes at that time, and if anyone is held accountable, the team leader who approved his leave and the commune secretary who agreed to let him extend his leave will probably both have some responsibility.

If Li Jie was captured by those soldiers, that would be a different story.

At that time, the army will definitely notify the commune and the Red Star Production Team.

By the time they find out that Li Jie is a Japanese spy and has been here for more than two years, who knows how scared they will be.
