Chapter 136 Dividing the Meat

Yunxi never inquired about matters concerning their unit, so when she heard that they were on a mission here, she simply ignored it and pretended not to hear it.

"Brother Yancheng, why didn't you bring out a basin?"

Yunxi ignored the meaning behind his words. She felt that she shouldn't ask him for help. If she was doing so badly and needed help from others, she might as well be dead.

"I wasn't planning on going to the brigade headquarters. I just came to see you. I saw you walking this way from afar, so I quickly caught up with you. You can say a few words to me. You go ahead, I'll head back now."

Yunxi looked at him intently staring at her, and to be honest, she was a little confused. It didn't seem like he was attracted to her face, but it didn't seem like he was completely innocent either.

After walking for a while, I could still feel the intense gaze on my back.

As she started thinking back, a thought suddenly flashed into her mind: she had heard that soldiers were particularly perceptive and observant. Had he discovered that she was no longer the original Yunxi?

But I didn't do anything!

Every action is still in accordance with Yunxi's original habits. Even if there are some differences when interacting with him, it can be said that he has experienced a family change and his personality has changed slightly, but not too much. He should be able to get by!

He shook his head. Oh well, whatever he's thinking is none of his business.

Chen Yancheng looked at Yunxi's back in the distance. He didn't think too much about anything else. He just thought that the innocent and romantic girl had become very mature.

The little girl will be alone at home from now on. Fortunately, there are so many relatives in the village. Otherwise, with such a beautiful girl, it would be difficult to protect her.

He never expected that in just one year, both the little girl's father and grandmother would pass away. Although he knew clearly from the first day of his military service that he might never return, he still felt very sad.

The family's social class wasn't good to begin with, so even if they wanted to help the little girl, they couldn't. It seems they can ask their younger brother to help the little girl with some chores when they have free time.

At the very least, they can help with the heavy and tiring work.

When Yunxi arrived at the brigade headquarters, she saw that it was crowded with people, each holding a basin. Sure enough, the basin she was carrying was not very big; compared to the others, it was much smaller.

Yunxi's figure was spotted as soon as she appeared, and everyone looked at her with gratitude.

Yunxi felt a little embarrassed by their stares, but for some reason, she felt a sense of joy, even more so than when she was a peach tree spirit and absorbed spiritual energy.

I feel like I'm becoming more and more popular.

I chatted with the other people, and then lined up to get the pork stew. Suddenly I felt that everyone was so enthusiastic and spoke so nicely and gently, unlike their usual loud voices.

She didn't have to wait too long before it was her turn. She quickly took her basin to get the food, and Grandma Cheng was there to serve it. When she saw Yunxi, she took her basin and filled it to the brim with pork stew.

"Yunxi, after you take the vegetables back, quickly bring a basket over so we can start dividing the meat right away."

"good."

Seeing a line of housewives on the side, Yunxi noticed that the meat was being distributed at the front, where the village butcher was cutting the meat. Everyone was queuing up to get their share. Yunxi glanced over and saw that some of the meat was good, and some wasn't, but everyone got a little bit, which seemed quite fair.

For the villagers, bad meat is definitely too lean, and good meat is the kind with lots of fat. As for the offal, it has long been stewed with various pickled vegetables, radishes, and cabbage into a pot of stewed pork offal.

A large basin was filled with pork stew. Yunxi had originally planned to just take two pounds of meat, but her hands were too full to hold it all, so she had to carry the meat back with her.

After returning home, I immediately stored the meat in my spatial storage. In this cold weather, it would get cold quickly if left on the table, so it's better to keep it fresh in my storage space.

Grandma Cheng said that carrying a basket on her back was too scary, so she would just go with one hand and carry two pounds of meat.

If I were to actually take a basket with me, I'd always worry that they'd fill it up completely so I could bring it back.

I prepared this especially for the villagers to eat meat. I already have mountains of meat in my own space, so why would I need to compete with the villagers for meat?

When Yunxi returned, she found that the line for distributing meat had dwindled to almost nothing, but there was still plenty of meat in front of them. They obediently lined up at the back and slowly made their way forward.

It's possible that when it was his turn, there wasn't much bad meat left, just a large piece of good meat with a good balance of fat and lean, weighing about twenty or thirty pounds.

The captain was also nearby. Upon seeing Yunxi, he immediately told her to take the piece of meat home.

"Yunxi, this whole piece is for you. See if you can take it back. If not, I'll ask your uncle to send it back to you."

Although I had guessed that they would give a lot, I didn't expect them to actually give that much.

"Grandpa, you don't need to give me so much. Everyone eat more. Just cut me two pounds, that'll be enough."

"No, two jin is too little. Everyone is able to eat meat because of you. This is what you deserve. There are more than 1,300 jin in total, and you only get this little bit. We've already taken advantage of you. Take it back now."

I can't let my grandniece suffer a loss, even though it seems like Yunxi has already suffered a loss.

However, since Yun Zhaodi got married early, no one else in the village had any objections. The biggest reason for this was Yunxi, and the meat was Yunxi's way of thanking them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left so little meat for Yunxi. The girl is still young, and we, as her elders, have to think of things for her that she can't think of.

Although Yunxi is indeed not very good at social etiquette, she is obedient and does whatever others say. She doesn't care too much about things that don't harm her.

Since she was told to take it herself, she did so without needing anyone's help, simply carrying the meat in her hand and walking away.

The meat was quite heavy to carry, but I'm in good health now and can lift it easily.

On the way back, you could feel the envious glances from the side, and occasionally a couple of envious and jealous looks, which made you completely ignore their gaze.

Anyway, Yunxi felt that she had a thick skin and wasn't embarrassed at all.

After returning home, he closed the front door and placed the large piece of meat in the snowdrift under the eaves.

Since this piece of meat has already been passed through the open, there's no need to keep it in the space. Besides, the weather is so cold now, so there's no need to worry about it spoiling.

It's a bit embarrassing to receive such a large piece of good meat. From now on, the trap won't be my problem anymore. The villagers will keep an eye on things, and if they happen to encounter it, they'll occasionally lure a wild boar in for them. Then they won't have to give me so much meat.

After resting at home for two days, Yunxi didn't do nothing. At the very least, she stocked up on a lot of boiled water and ice cubes in her space, both edible and inedible ice cubes.

After only two days, she felt restless, thinking about the big river 50 miles away from the village, a river dozens of meters wide, and it would be a pity not to go and see it.

At my current speed of 50 miles per hour, it would only take me a few hours to get there.

If you avoid other people a little, you shouldn't be discovered, and it shouldn't be a problem to stay there for the night.

The next morning, Yunxi made herself a big bowl of noodles, added various sauces she made herself, ate one bowl, put the rest into her spatial storage, then picked up her basket, locked the door, and left.

There are very few people outside, but when you walk along the river, you can still see people fishing, including some children, ranging from a few years old to teenagers.

I really admire their determination; they still have the mood to go fishing in such cold weather. However, at this time, no one has much to eat, so they're just trying their luck at the river.
