Chapter 366 A lively gathering
When Ning Yuan heard Fan Lei's relief, he quickly put his arm around Fan Lei's shoulders and said with a smile.
"How could that be? You don't know us. We are all good children of the teachers and good fighters of the people. How could we possibly cause trouble?"
Seeing Ning Yuan's behavior and because Meng Qing was there, Fan Lei didn't bother with Ning Yuan too much.
"Alright, alright, are you the type to keep quiet? You really need to warn your brothers about this. You know the situation of the place you're going back to. If something goes wrong, it will be too late!"
After speaking earnestly to Ning Yuan again, Fan Lei pushed the door and left the office.
Ning Yuan and Meng Qing followed closely behind and walked out together.
"Uncle Fan, shall I go to the Youth League Office right away?"
After asking Fan Lei a question, Ning Yuan saw Fan Lei nodded, then waved at him, indicating that he could just go over there.
After leaving the county party committee yard, Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan and a few of their friends were waiting at the door.
Ning Yuan greeted them and then led everyone directly towards the Youth League Office.
By the time they returned to Fang Village, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, but it was June and the days were long, so it was still light.
Ningyuan's Zhong Yuemin and his friends did not return empty-handed. On the way back, they also shot a few wild goats.
After putting the bullet boxes into the warehouse, they had no intention of keeping the goats, so they just skinned and gutted them.
Just roast it directly over firewood.
The weather is really getting hot now.
There are iced watermelons and big crisp pears in the deep well in the back mountain, which are just right for cooling off in the summer heat.
Under the afterglow of the sun, Fatty Fan and his colleagues were busy making arrangements.
Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin got some well water, boiled it, and mixed it with the honey they had cut from the valley.
This is genuine wild honey, pure, natural and pollution-free. Although it is not as sweet as the honey produced by bees fed with sugar in later generations, it is really delicious.
After filling two large jars with honey water, I put them aside to quench everyone's thirst later.
At half past eight, everyone started eating and drinking in the threshing ground in the center of the village.
These five goats are all quite large, weighing about 100 pounds each.
After removing the fur and internal organs, a sheep can still produce at least 40 kilograms of meat.
After baking it again to remove some moisture, I estimate that one will weigh about 30 kilograms.
The wild goats in the Qinling Mountains run around in the mountains every day. Their meat is firm and they eat wild grass and wild fruits, so their meat is very fragrant and has no smell of mutton.
Ning Yuan and his friends built a few fires right in the threshing ground and roasted the five goats until they were sizzling.
Sprinkle with fine salt and chili powder, and drizzle with the juice of chopped wild fennel. Hey, it’s amazing!
The aroma of barbecue filled the air, making the greedy people drool.
Meng Qing and some female educated youth fished out the iced watermelons and crispy pears from the deep well in the back mountain, cut them up and placed them on several small wooden tables in the middle.
The roasted whole lamb was taken off the fire by Fatty Fan and others.
Everyone ate barbecue, drank warm honey water, and ate ice-cold watermelon and crispy pears. It was so comfortable.
Fatty Fan was gnawing on a piece of grilled ribs in one hand and holding a bowl of honey water in the other. Whenever he choked, he would quickly take a couple of gulps to smooth things over.
Ning Yuan also cut two pieces of roasted lamb that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and handed them to Meng Qing and Xiao Ningwei.
Then, while everyone was happy, he announced another piece of good news.
"Everyone, please be quiet! This time we went into the city and begged for some family visit permits. In the next few days, Fatty Yuemin, Meng Qing, Ning Wei, and I will be returning to the Forbidden City!"
As soon as Ning Yuan said this, as expected, a buzzing sound began to be heard nearby.
The young men around didn't actually have any major emotional fluctuations.
Because those who were able to go to the countryside with Ning Yuan all wanted to join the army, but their family elders could not pass the formal review.
Their best memories in the old city were the days when they followed Ning Yuan.
He is majestic, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, running rampant throughout the city. No one dares to disobey him!
The food is good, the accommodation is comfortable, and the fun is great.
Is there anything more enjoyable than this kind of life?
Therefore, when Ning Yuan and his companions went back to the old city, the male educated youth did not feel that they had any privileges or anything.
What interested everyone was that they could bring something for everyone.
Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and other activists immediately started shouting at Ningyuan Zhong Yuemin.
"Brother Yuan, please bring back more gold this time. You should also bring back more beer and Arctic Ocean soda from our Sijiu City for our brothers!"
Hu Lianwang just thought that the honey water in the bowl was fragrant and sweet, but when he heard that Ning Yuan and the others were going back to Sijiu City, he quickly stood up and begged Ning Yuan.
"Hu Zi is right, Yuemin, Brother Yuan, you guys finally made the trip back, so bring some extra beer. I really need that!"
Tian Erliang also took the opportunity to echo.
Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin looked at each other and smiled at each other. After all, they were old brothers.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he changed the topic and avoided the important issues, so that everyone would no longer worry about why Ning Yuan and his friends could return to their hometown to visit their relatives, but instead gave them hope that Ning Yuan and his friends would bring back good things.
This is what you call a smart person. Maybe Hu Zi really wanted Ning Yuan and the others to bring back some beer, because Hu Zi was too straightforward. If he said he had any tricks up his sleeve, none of his friends would believe him.
It is so clever of Erliang to add this sentence at the end. This kid is so cunning.
After Zoucheng realized what was happening, he quickly joined in the fun.
"Hey, don't just talk about material things. The teacher said that spiritual poverty is the most terrifying thing. I don't ask for much, just bring a few sets of history books!"
With Zheng Tong's intervention, the situation became even more chaotic.
This one wants to bring some cigarettes, and that one wants to bring some roast duck to taste the flavor of home!
There was a chaotic shouting, and Fatty Fan started to laugh and scold and tease them when he saw it.
"Xu Lao Er, have you grown that mouth? Do you really think you're some remnant of the Qing Dynasty? Bring some roast ducks with you!"
"Damn it, I've been covered up on the train for a few days, and now I'm already stinking here!"
"Hey Fatty, you're gonna cross me out, right? I have to practice with you today!"
The second son of the Xu family rushed towards Fatty Fan with a smile.
But how could he be a match for Fatty Fan? In a blink of an eye, he was pinned to the ground by the fat man.
The guys around started playing around.
