SIAS Chapter 191.1

Yi Qingqing and Wang Lingling’s train tickets to go back home were on January 3rd.

After New Year’s Day, the two of them began to prepare to go home.

Yi Qingqing had already asked the captain about the leave to go home for the New Year.

This is the good thing about being an educated youth in the Northeast. 

In the winter, there is nothing to do in the team. As long as the educated youth has money and can buy a ticket to go back, no one will stop them from going home to visit their families. As long as they come back before the production team starts working, it will be fine.

In this era, it is difficult for educated youth to go home for the New Year mainly because they feel sorry for the money or simply cannot afford it. 

Yi Qingqing and Wang Lingling asked for a month and a half of leave. 

If they want to stay at home for a longer period of time, they can stay for a while. One and a half months is enough. 

The two of them also left half a month of flexible time in between to avoid any accidents.

And after returning, there is still a period of rest before the production team starts spring planting, so it won’t be too rushed.

However, the reason why they decided to go back on the 3rd was mainly because there was another important event on the 2nd.

The team was going to kill a pig and distribute the meat!

When distributing grain, it was mainly based on population and work points, but when distributing meat, it was mainly based on the number of people.

The educated youths might get much less than those large families with more than a dozen people, but they still get a share.

Even Wang Lingling was going to take the newly distributed pork back to her family to see. 

Although it was just a small amount and it was not enough for the whole family to have a meal, it was the meat that represented the fruits of her labor during her time in the countryside.

On New Year’s Day, the two of them went to the captain to get a certificate.

The Big Head Group went to watch the team slaughtering pigs together, and then each person was given a small piece of lean meat.

The fatty meat with a lot of oil and water was not for the weak educated youth. 

The old educated youth got a little more than the new educated youth.

But it was good to have meat, as they had only been in the countryside for half a year!

On this day, the smell of meat wafted from every household.

After Yi Qingqing took the meat back, she stored it in the space food room.

She would be preparing to go home tomorrow, so she had to pack up the things she planned to take home.

She wandered around her food room.

She took a piece of fresh pork, a smoked chicken, a dried rabbit, a duck cooked in soy sauce, salted duck eggs, pickled sauerkraut, pickled radish, and other pickled vegetables she made herself, as well as some mountain products she exchanged with fellow villagers.

She really wanted to take a portion of everything she had back for her parents to taste.

But it was not easy to take too many things. The most important thing was that it was not easy to explain to her parents.

She did make up a story and told her parents that she had learned hunting from others and sometimes could hunt some small things.

So, it was still explainable to take the smoked chicken and dried rabbit back.

But she was a little afraid that the wild boar meat in space would scare her parents, so she bought fresh pork from Li Mengxue.

There were so many things. She had already collected a lot of things unconsciously, which were not light.

This was not like the luggage she brought when she went to the countryside, where a large piece of coarse cloth could be used to tie up a bundle and carry it.

These things were a bit heavy, and many of them could not be put directly, so they had to be placed in jars and cans, which made them even heavier.

She was afraid that the bag would fall out halfway if it was wrapped in cloth.
