When it snows, the logistics department gets busy.

Li Huilan and Ye Qin excitedly said to their partners: "The pigs are going to be killed! Section Chief Zheng has asked our pig farm to prepare and selected two big fat pigs to be slaughtered tomorrow. Each pig weighs more than 100 kilograms."

Wei Min's mouth watered when he heard this. Don't think he is a leader now, but he is actually a childish child at heart: "More than a hundred catties! Two fat pigs? Then each of us can get almost half a catty of meat. No need.

The fat pork of Meupiao is wow~~”

Chen Zhilu jumped up: "Braised pork! Stew a big pot of braised pork. I want to eat enough."

Hu Huanxin rubbed his nose: "Bring some lard back, let's refine the lard, and add some salt to the oil residue. It smells so fragrant... hiss!"

The last hiss was the sound of him sucking saliva, which made a group of people laugh.

During the Chinese New Year, children love to watch their parents refining lard. Cut the lard into pieces and fry them slowly over low heat in an iron pot. The lard is shiny and crispy, and the rich aroma of the oil is mouth-watering.

, That's the taste of "year". Which one doesn't like it?

Two medium-sized pigs were put out for slaughter, one weighing 150 kilograms and the other 100 kilograms. After peeling, bleeding, and removing the internal organs, the meat weighed about 210 kilograms. There are a total of 520 employees on the farm.

On average -

Each person can get four taels of pork. There are a total of 20 educated youths in Jiangcheng, and they can get eight kilograms of pork. That’s eight kilograms of pork~ you can eat it for a long time!

Everyone was happily planning and eagerly awaiting the pig-killing feast the next day.

When I woke up early in the morning, the snow outside the window was dazzlingly bright.

When he opened the door, the cold air rushed into his face, mixed with goose feather-like snowflakes, which made Tao Nanfeng shiver. He looked up to the sky, and the apocalyptic scene in his dream flashed through his mind.

——The weather is weirdly hot, the air is full of putrid smell, the sun is high all day long, the sky is always gray, there is no winter, autumn, only summer.

In comparison, although Xiufeng Mountain is colder than Jiangcheng, and it snowed so much in mid-December, it still has four distinct seasons and fresh air, which is a hundred times better than the apocalypse in dreams.

Tao Nanfeng's mood was soaring, and his childish heart suddenly brightened. He put on the long navy blue cotton-padded jacket sent by his father and rushed to the center of the floor, spreading his arms and spinning in circles. Snowflakes fell one by one on his head, shoulders, and arms, crystal clear, and in an instant

It melts instantly, leaving only shallow water stains on clothes.

"It's snowing -" Tao Nanfeng murmured softly with a smile on his lips.

There is an inch of snow under your feet, which makes a "crunching" sound when you step on it. If you listen carefully, the snow falls on the treetops, roofs, and the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

The green hills in the distance turned white, the roofs in front of us turned white, and the yellow mud roads usually filled with people became a vast expanse of white. The world of snow is pure and beautiful.

Tao Nanfeng was spinning in circles outside the house, and the heat in her body was surging, making her body slowly become light and strong.

In the next room, Qiao Yadong was looking at her intently through the glass. In his eyes, Tao Nanfeng, who was wearing a long cotton-padded jacket, danced like an elf in the snow, adding a strong and bright color to the cold winter.

Qiao Yadong was watching so intently that Wei Min, who was changing his clothes and getting ready, came closer and said, "What are you looking at? You can't take your eyes off..."

It didn't matter. Wei Min's eyes widened: "Oh, Tao Nanfeng can actually dance? She usually seems inactive, but she changed her appearance when it snowed."

After saying that, he opened the window and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Tao Nanfeng, you dance well!"

Tao Nanfeng froze, raised his eyes in the direction of the boys' dormitory, quickly retracted his outstretched arms, stepped on the snow a few times, and ran back to the house.

It was completely white, with only a series of footprints left in the snow.

Qiao Yadong complained to Wei Min: "Girls are thin-skinned, what are you yelling about?"

Wei Min chuckled and didn't care: "She dances beautifully, what does it mean if I applaud you? But you..." He suddenly realized a question, "What are you thinking about watching quietly at the window for a long time?

?”

After saying this, Chen Zhilu and Hu Huanxin, who were in the dormitory together, began to denounce Qiao Yadong.

"I suspect that you have other motives for Tao Nanfeng. I felt something was wrong with you the last time I went down the mountain to the post office."

"Speak quickly! Do you have a crush on Sister Tao?"

"I'm her brother. If you like her, you have to please me first, okay?"

"We are all educated youths in Jiangcheng. You can't bully Tao Nanfeng. If you like her, you have to treat her well all your life, do you understand?"

A lifetime? This word is too heavy. Qiao Yadong, who is only eighteen years old, doesn't know if he can afford it.

Seeing that Qiao Yadong didn't reply for a long time, Chen Zhilu was a little unhappy, his face fell, and he said angrily: "What do you mean? He looked at the girl secretly, as if he was in love with her, but he didn't even dare to admit whether he liked her. Tao

My sister can build houses and build roads. She is a good and capable girl. If you don't like her, then stay away from me."

Qiao Yadong's handsome eyebrows were full of confusion, and Tao Nanfeng's cold eyes flashed before his eyes: "I, I like her."

Chen Zhilu rolled his eyes at him: "It's not a scandal to like me, so why are you so nervous?"

Qiao Yadong did not dare to say what he was thinking. He was an only child, and his parents were very strict with him. His mother worked in the Education Bureau and had very high expectations for him. She had a very serious conversation with him the night before coming to Xiufengshan Farm.

"You are an only child, so you don't have to go to the mountains and countryside, but I signed up for you. Do you know why? I also know that the conditions in the countryside are poor, and I also understand that farm work is hard. My son is traveling thousands of miles and my mother is worried, but I

But I am reluctant to sign up for you, do you know why?

You are a child with excellent grades, but now that the college entrance examination has been cancelled, you can only go to college by taking the path recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers. You can't take this path in the city, so you have to go to the mountains and the countryside. I hope you work hard and do well when you get to the farm.

Perform well, build a good relationship with leaders, establish prestige among the masses, and strive to get a university recommendation. Only in this way can you have a better future.

While you are on the farm, be careful with your words and actions, and never let anyone catch you by your hair. The political climate is tense now, and no one knows whether you will be betrayed by your friends. Only your parents will never betray you, my friend.

Brothers and lovers are not reliable.

And... remember, don't fall in love, no matter how beautiful, capable, or smart the girl is!

On the one hand, falling in love will inevitably distract people, which will make people criticize them for not concentrating on work and not working hard. Secondly, falling in love will lower people's IQ and make them lose their vigilance. Husband and wife can turn against each other, and brothers can become enemies, not to mention those who don't know their roots.

A low-income woman? If you fall in love with a rural girl, you will be shackled and unable to return to the city; if you fall in love with an educated youth, your joys, sorrows, and sorrows will be seen by everyone, which will lower your prestige and cause adverse effects."

His mother's words successfully taught Qiao Yadong how to hide his thoughts.

Along the way, the young man's impulsive passion also led Qiao Yadong to lead the educated youth to confront Jiao Changchang and Luo Xuan, to jointly keep the secret of the phosphate mine and work hard for the development of the farm.

However, Qiao Yadong still remained sober. After seeing clearly his love for Tao Nanfeng, he chose to retreat and suppress his emotions.

Facing the roommate's questioning, Qiao Yadong carefully considered his words: "Like and appreciation are one thing, but falling in love and working together for a lifetime is another thing. I have never been in love, and I can't figure out what's on my mind."

Hearing what he said was reasonable, Chen Zhilu nodded: "Okay, before you think about it clearly, don't keep getting in front of Sister Tao, so as not to cause misunderstanding."

Although Chen Zhilu's academic performance is not good, because his father is the head of the purchasing section of the nitrogen fertilizer plant, the family welcomes many people, and he has seen a lot of people and the world, and he is very clear-minded.

As soon as Chen Zhilu said this, Qiao Yadong's face turned red. He turned around without saying a word, took out a book "On Protracted War" and started reading.

Hu Huanxin didn't hear the implication of Chen Zhilu's words, and scratched his head stupidly: "We are all partners. We eat, live and work together every day. How can we not get along?"

Wei Min grabbed him and dragged him out: "I'm at work, don't be idle, hurry up and collect firewood while the snow is small."

The house in Educated Youth Point shared a verandah. Hu Huanxin was dragged out of the house by Wei Min, howling, which attracted everyone's attention. They laughed and screamed, and it suddenly became lively.

"It's cold. Is the water tank in the kitchen frozen?"

"Stop inking and let's go see our pond freeze."

"Take a walk and stretch your muscles and bones, otherwise you will become useless if you sit in the house every day."

"Oh, by the way, who is on duty in the kitchen today? Prepare in advance and make a pot of braised pork when you get the meat back."

The pyrotechnic dialogue dispelled the winter cold and gave this snowy day a strong human touch.

Tao Nanfeng patted the snowflakes on his body in the room, pursed his lips and smiled softly.

Xiao Aiyun coughed twice, quickly wrapped herself in the quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis, and acted coquettishly towards Tao Nanfeng: "Good Nanfeng, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Li Huilan jumped off the bed and glared at Xiao Aiyun: "Why are you pestering Nanfeng? I'll get you some water."

Ye Qin sat by the window combing his hair and curled his lips: "Don't pay attention to her, Xiao Aiyun is just proud of being favored. She has already recovered from the cold, and she wants to be lazy and not get up."

Xiao Aiyun had no choice but to get up, walked over with bare feet and cotton shoes, poured a glass of water, took two big gulps, and after finishing the drink, she took a deep breath: "Oh my god, it's so cold."

The four girls were talking and laughing, washing up, having breakfast, and tidying up the house. They looked at the time and saw that it was only nine o'clock. Tao Nanfeng read quietly, Li Huilan carefully served her pot of spring orchids, and Xiao Aiyun and Ye Qin were at the door with greedy mouths.

Zhang Wang: "Why haven't you notified us yet?"

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wei Min came back carrying a bamboo basket, stood on the floor in front of the house and shouted: "The meat is coming! The meat is coming!"

A group of people in Wuyangyang rushed out of the house and shouted happily, stretching their necks to look into the bamboo basket: "How many are there? Let me see, show me."

Wei Min placed the bamboo basket under the verandah. Inside, there were strips of white pork and a long string of blood sausages stuffed with pig blood: "One person has two pork, and our educated youth will order twenty people, a total of six kilograms. One knife per knife."

There are six kilograms here, one kilogram each for hind legs, front legs, front legs, pork belly, ribs, and spine. One educated youth spot will also give you a hanging blood sausage, and the rest will be left by the cafeteria to cook noodles at night.

bowl."

Blood sausage is a local delicacy. Pork blood is poured into the cleaned large intestine and dried in the sun. Slice and stir-fry peppers and steam them. It is extremely delicious.

Chen Zhilu was smart and knew how to calculate accounts. He took a look at the meat and blood sausage in the bamboo basket, frowned and asked, "Didn't I calculate that each person could get four taels of meat before, how come they got two?"

The educated youths who were so happy just now looked at me and I looked at you, and doubts arose in my heart. Yes, eight pounds of meat became six pounds. Where did the remaining two pounds of meat go?

"Alas..." Wei Min sighed, "Director Luo is very stingy. He insists on deducting one or two pieces of meat from each person, saying that it can be made into bacon to survive the winter. The farm needs to prepare for war and shortages."

One tael per person, the educated youth point suddenly lost two kilograms of meat. This suddenly exploded, and everyone became dissatisfied.

"Nowadays, everyone is eating from a big pot. The average price is four taels, so why does Luo Xuan say that if you deduct one tael, it's just one tael?"

"What a shameless and stingy person! He is simply a bully landowner who even wants to rob us of our food rations. There are more than 500 of us, and one tael per person is more than 50 kilograms of meat. Who knows where he got it!"

"You, Chief Wei, are considered a leader, so why don't you say anything?"

When Wei Min heard everyone's complaints, he thought of Luo Xuan's grandiose remarks, spread his hands and said: "I have no choice. I said before that I would deduct two taels. If I hadn't fought hard, I might not even have this basket of meat, bones, and blood."
