Chapter 182 Confirming the Rumors of the Son of Fortune
When the sun shone on the earth, when Lin Sitian, Xia Zhiyan and other four educated youth met the team leader's aunt, Guihua's aunt and her daughter-in-law, it seemed as if the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
They greeted each other warmly with bright smiles on their faces, and then set off together on the road leading to the mountain.
Along the way, laughter and joy rose and fell, like a beautiful symphony.
Aunt Guihua's husband's surname is Zhang, so Lin Sitian and others affectionately call her daughter-in-law "Aunt Zhang".
At first, Aunt Zhang was quite puzzled as to why her mother-in-law chose to invite the female educated youth from the Youth League to go up the mountain together at noon.
After all, they brought back quite a lot of mountain products in the morning, including even a fat pheasant.
Normally speaking, such a harvest is already quite considerable, and it seems unnecessary to go into the mountains again at noon under the scorching sun.
You know, in the brigade they are in, except for the autumn harvest season when they cannot rest at noon due to busy farm work.
At other times, when farmers are idle, people usually don't have to work at noon.
So, people took advantage of this rare leisure time to do some mending work at home, or take good care of their own housework, or look after their own private plots of land.
Some families even raise two or three chickens or geese to add some vitality to their lives.
Due to clear policy regulations, each household is only allowed to raise no more than two poultry.
Otherwise, if there were no such restrictions, those families who are more diligent would probably raise far more than just two poultry.
It was precisely based on this policy background that, for the first time ever, Aunt Zhang obeyed her mother-in-law's arrangement and followed her up the mountain to pick mountain products at noon.
You know, before this, they never had the habit of going up the mountain at noon.
Therefore, when Aunt Zhang heard her mother-in-law calling her and asked to go up the mountain with the female educated youth living in the small educated youth compound in the middle of the day.
Deep down, I feel that there is really no need for such an action.
After all, the mountain products won’t run away on their own as if they had legs.
Although the entire brigade has a large population, the area of this mountain is also quite vast.
In any case, we can always find a certain amount of mountain products at home.
Although she was full of doubts and puzzlement, Aunt Zhang did not express her doubts in the end.
Anyway, think about it, these family matters are not of great importance, so it is better to follow my mother-in-law obediently.
Besides, Aunt Zhang herself firmly believes in certain superstitious beliefs.
Even though the country has taken severe measures to crack down on feudal superstitious activities, her family can still harvest a lot of mountain products at noon.
Let me ask you, which family would complain about having too many mountain products?
And more importantly, she had indeed heard a lot of gossip about Lin, the educated youth in the small educated youth compound.
Everyone said that this educated young man Lin was extremely lucky, and it seemed that no matter what he did, he would be successful.
She was full of curiosity and doubts about this. Are these rumors true or false?
So this time, she decided to follow her mother-in-law to find out the truth.
Because the team has never had the habit of going up the mountain to pick mountain products at noon, the number of people who chose to go up the mountain at noon today was extremely small compared to usual.
This brought great convenience to the team led by the captain's aunt.
After they set foot on the mountain path, they did not go too far into the forest.
At this moment, a surprising scene appeared - not far ahead, there were several hazel grouse leisurely looking for food.
At first, Lin Sitian had no idea what she was seeing, after all, she had never seen such a creature before.
Although they are called "chickens", their appearance is actually significantly different from common chickens.
Whether it is a pheasant living in the wild or a domestic chicken raised on a farm, there is a big difference between them and the hazel grouse.
Looking from a distance, these hazel grouse look more like birds, but their bodies are slightly larger than ordinary birds.
Fortunately, when Lin Sitian noticed these hazel grouse foraging, she did not panic and make too much noise.
Instead, she cautiously nudged the two aunts standing beside her with her elbow, signaling them to pay attention to this unexpected discovery.
At this moment, the two aunts' attention was suddenly attracted by several small animals that were looking for food not far away.
When they looked closely, smiles of surprise instantly appeared on their faces, and their eyes flashed with excitement that was hard to conceal, as if they had discovered some rare treasure.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time, and clearly read the same words from each other's eyes:
"Look, look, it's really like that! Xiaolin Zhiqing is truly a lucky little darling blessed by God!
I just caught a pheasant this morning, and I didn't expect a hazel grouse to show up at noon!
Although at this moment, the excitement in the hearts of the aunts was like surging waves, they still suppressed their joy and did not dare to act rashly.
After all, they were afraid that if they accidentally made some noise, they would scare the chickens that were concentrating on foraging and make them fly away.
So, they just quickly exchanged their thoughts and ideas with their eyes.
Apart from that, there were no other unnecessary movements or sounds.
Finally, they nodded to each other quietly, their movements so slight that they were almost imperceptible.
This is to signal to the other party that these hazel grouse are not only edible, but also that they can be caught.
After hearing this affirmative answer, several female educated youth from the small educated youth compound, who had been cooperating very well, immediately rushed to their respective positions like arrows.
After seeing the actions of the young educated youth, the two aunts and a young wife immediately cooperated with them.
They were all agile and nimble, and in an instant they formed a tight encirclement.
After all, everyone in the mountain is a good worker, not to mention so many people surrounding a group of animals.
These female educated youth and their companions were seen chasing and blocking the fleeing hazel grouse while throwing stones and shovels at them.
For a moment, the scene became extremely intense, with dust flying and shouts coming one after another.
Although there were as many as 4-5 hazel grouse foraging in that area, they finally managed to capture three of them after a hard chase and roundup.
When they saw the three hazel grouse that were tightly tied up but still struggling desperately, the female educated youth's faces were filled with excited and satisfied smiles.
You know, for a rural family living in this area, it is rare to eat meat throughout the year.
It was a delight to be able to catch so much game in such large quantities so easily.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if they had already seen a rich and delicious meal in front of them.
This kind of harvest is not only material satisfaction, but also the best reward for their hard work.
At this moment, Lin Sitian didn't know that she had been labeled as a child of luck and had great luck.
I just kept digging in the grass where the group of hazel grouse were active, hoping to find some of their eggs.
Because I am quite curious about what the eggs of that thing that looks like a bird but not a bird, like a chicken but not a chicken taste like.
With her unremitting persistence, she finally found 6 eggs that were slightly smaller than pheasant eggs!
This scene shocked the indigenous people of the brigade. After all, the educated youth who had just arrived in the countryside did not know how difficult it was to find the Hazel Grouse and its eggs.
But the indigenous people knew about it. How could it be so easy to catch both the chicken and the eggs?
Oh, it’s Xiaolin, the educated youth. That’s quite normal.
