When they returned to the educated youth settlement, the other educated youth had not yet finished work and returned.
Jiang Muyan carried her basket back to her dormitory first, neatly piling the branches in the corner of the kitchen, while leaving the rattan at the dormitory entrance to soak and steam later. After all, the rattan needed to be softened before weaving.
Her gaze fell on the three pheasants in the basket on her back. After a moment's thought, she picked out the smaller one and locked it in the kitchen, keeping it for herself to eat slowly.
There were two baskets left, one large and one small. She planned to give the largest one to Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan as a thank you for their help today; the smaller one would be a thank you gift for the educated youth gathering tonight.
These days, life is tough for educated youth. The fact that they were willing to spare some of their meager rations to treat the new educated youth is truly commendable.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Muyan carried her basket and headed towards Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan's dormitory. Before she even reached the door, a small, snow-white dog ran out of the room.
Jiang Xiaobai had just run out the door when he bumped into Jiang Muyan and stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head as if he was looking her up and down, and then slowly wagged his little tail as he cautiously approached her.
Jiang Muyan felt an instant surge of affection upon seeing the puppy's adorable appearance—she had always loved animals, but in her modern life, she was allergic to animal fur, and her master never allowed her to touch it.
I'm not sure if this body will be allergic, but considering I touched a pheasant this afternoon, it should be fine.
Thinking this, she crouched down and reached out her hand to the puppy. Just as the little white dog wagged its tail and tried to come closer, Jiang Xiechuan's voice suddenly came from inside the room:
"Jiang Xiaobai, where did you run off to?"
"So your name is Jiang Xiaobai!" Jiang Muyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was really interesting that this little dog had the same surname as her.
Inside, Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan were chatting when they heard the noise outside the door. They both got up and came out at the same time. They immediately saw Jiang Xiaobai lying on the ground, enjoying Jiang Muyan's caresses, looking completely relaxed.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Xiechuan's eyes. You see, Jiang Xiaobai always only clung to him. Others in the educated youth compound rarely even gave it a second glance, let alone touched it.
Fu Moxuan had been there for most of the day, but the little guy hadn't shown much affection to her. Unexpectedly, he was so affectionate towards Jiang Muyan.
Jiang Muyan caught sight of the two coming out, and somewhat embarrassedly withdrew her hand, stood up and said, "Um... I'm here to return the basket."
As she spoke, she stood up, took the basket off her back, picked up the smaller pheasant, and then handed the basket to Jiang Xiechuan.
"I hunted a few pheasants today. I'll take this one to the main dormitory later, and you can keep the one in the basket!"
Jiang Xiechuan stared at the pheasants in the basket on his back, looking at her with disbelief: "How many?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his tone was too surprised and quickly added, "Jiang Zhiqing, are you saying you hunted these pheasants yourself? And you hunted several?"
"Uh, I misused the word and only wrote three," Jiang Muyan corrected herself, slightly embarrassed.
"That's already a lot, you know? Those pheasants are so clever, I rarely catch any even when I set traps!" Jiang Xiechuan said, sounding somewhat frustrated. There were plenty of wild animals in the mountains, but unfortunately, he couldn't catch many.
"I was just lucky today!" Jiang Muyan felt that she was indeed lucky today. You know, she caught these three pheasants at the same time not far from the foot of the mountain.
Fu Moxuan, who was standing to the side, did not agree with Jiang Muyan's statement.
His gaze fell on the wound on the pheasant's neck. The wound was deep and neat. How much force must it have taken to leave such a deep wound? It seems that this little girl's skills are even more impressive than he had imagined!
Jiang Xiechuan took the basket from the back, then took out the pheasant from inside, and declined, saying:
"Jiang, we can't take this pheasant. You can keep it and eat it slowly. You have to go to work tomorrow, so you need to take good care of yourself then."
Jiang Xiechuan always felt that the wound on Jiang Muyan's forehead was a bit of an eyesore, and the girl was also very thin and weak, so she should be given some nourishment.
"I still have some. If you don't accept them, I'll be too embarrassed to trouble you again next time."
Jiang Muyan was afraid he would refuse again, so she quickly changed the subject, "Are you going to the dormitory now? Why don't you go together?" She could already hear lively voices coming from the front yard, which meant that the other educated youths had returned from work.
"Okay, we were just about to go, please wait for us!" Seeing her resolute attitude, Jiang Xiechuan stopped being polite and planned to give Jiang Muyan more nourishing food when his parents mailed things next time.
Thinking it over, he went into the kitchen, put down the pheasant in his hand, and picked up the food and a few potatoes that he had prepared in advance. He usually did not eat with other educated youth, so he naturally had to bring more food for the welcome party.
Fu Moxuan turned around and went back into the house, taking out a piece of pork belly that he had just bought that afternoon. Jiang Xiechuan locked the very unwilling Jiang Xiaobai in the room again, and the three of them walked together towards the large dormitory.
Walking beside Fu Moxuan, Jiang Muyan clearly felt a rich spiritual energy emanating from him, continuously flowing into her body.
The spiritual energy that had been depleted during the afternoon hunt was instantly replenished, and his whole body felt light and refreshed.
This made Jiang Muyan secretly decide that she must get along well with Fu Moxuan in the future. Hehe, he is a mobile source of spiritual energy.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, they ran into Lin Yuexi, whom they had met that afternoon. She was also going back to her dorm to get food for the gathering. When she saw Jiang Muyan walking with Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan again, she unconsciously frowned.
Then, as if she hadn't seen Jiang Muyan, she went straight to greet Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan:
"Xie Chuan, Mo... Fu Zhiqing, are you also going to the front yard?"
Jiang Muyan looked at her deliberately ignoring her and chuckled inwardly—it seems that being around two good-looking men really does make you an easy target.
She didn't stop walking, and pretended not to see Lin Yuexi, and continued walking forward.
Jiang Xiechuan disliked Lin Yuexi's affected manner and sensed her hostility towards Jiang Muyan, so he ignored her greeting and chatted with Jiang Muyan as they walked. Fu Moxuan, who was not familiar with Lin Yuexi, followed them without stopping.
Lin Yuexi watched the three figures walk away side by side, her expression changed slightly, a barely perceptible rage flashed in her eyes, and she clenched the grain bag in her hand.
The welcome party was held in the courtyard in front of the female educated youth dormitory, where two tables and matching stools were already neatly arranged.
When the other educated youth saw the pheasant Jiang Muyan was carrying and the pork belly Fu Moxuan was holding, their eyes lit up instantly.
These two new educated youths are really generous! Unlike some of the previous new educated youths who ate the food that everyone contributed and complained that it was bad.
It seems they can improve their lives a little today.
"You two must be the new educated youth Fu and Jiang, right? My name is Yan Beizheng, and I'm the team leader of our educated youth compound!"
