Chapter 431 This Year Is Different From the Past
The incident in Lijiatun gave the villagers some more topics to talk about, but that was all.
Human beings are very forgetful and will only think of things at certain times.
Han Li still took care of his wife, delivered ice, read, practiced calligraphy, and studied prescriptions every day. His time was dull and fulfilling.
But it's strange to say that the busier people are, the less likely they are to get sick. Han Li has rarely seen a doctor here recently.
Of course, it doesn't count that Hou Yuhua comes to Han Li for a massage every two days at most, nor does it count that other people come to buy "blood circulation and blood stasis removing ointment".
Han Li also received Mr. Liu's letter. To be honest, this position is really good. It is the kind of job that no one can ask for.
But Han Li really didn't want to get involved in too high a place, nor did he want to quarrel with others all day long. He was even more afraid that a gust of wind from the side would blow him away, so he could only decline Mr. Liu's kindness again.
For this reason, Village Chief Zhao came to visit and said that he had no ambition, but Han Li could only admit this fact with a smile.
In addition, there have been a lot of letters coming from home recently, and the one who has received the most letters is Han Xiaomei. She is almost telling Han Li about her daily work at the railway department, and the gratitude and happiness between the lines are overwhelming.
The content of Sister Han's letter is very simple, just some trivial matters at home.
Han's mother's letter was more interesting. Although her words did not explicitly say that Han Li should take Yun Yingying with him when he went home today.
But in her letter, she kept giving examples of other people's children. So-and-so from so-and-so's family took their partner home the next day after a blind date. And so on, and so on.
The clothes made by He Mi were praised by the Yun sisters, and now they could finally be worn by Han Li.
I have to say that He Mi's craftsmanship is really great. The clothes that look ordinary and unremarkable are very close-fitting and comfortable when worn.
It is softer, more breathable and sweat-absorbent than clothes on the market, and the more you wash it, the more comfortable it becomes.
Just because of the lack of relevant materials, the color rendering was a bit unsightly, but it was just in line with Han Li's desire to keep a low profile, so he couldn't be more satisfied with this outfit.
He Mi was very happy to see that Han Li really liked her. Recently, she was already working on the fabric for the second set of clothes.
During this time, Han Li was invited by Niu Dahai to visit the county town because his wife Hou Xiujuan was pregnant.
After what happened last time, Niu Dahai was worried about the county hospital. He had to have Han Li take a look at him to feel at ease.
Hou Xiujuan is in good health, but her pulse is very messy, a bit like twins.
This pulse condition made Han Li a little unsure when he met it for the first time, so he used his mental power to check it before confirming it.
When he told Niu Dahai the news, the Niu family suddenly fell into a sea of joy.
Niu Dahai's mother held Hou Xiujuan back and refused to let her do anything. She also wanted to call her work to ask for a long leave, but Niu Dahai stopped her.
At noon, Han Li was forced to eat a meal by Niu Dahai. When he left, he took away two 24-bottle boxes of Harbin beer and two barrels of malted milk, as well as Qi Zhaodi's high school diploma.
Speaking of which, Han Li had been busy with trivial matters during this period. When he was free, he focused on researching prescriptions. He really forgot about Qi Zhaodi's graduation certificate, and he didn't even think of the appointment to take Qi Zhaodi to take the exam.
But Hou Xiujuan still remembers that not only did she get her graduation certificate, but she also completed all the files. From now on, Qi Zhaodi is a legitimate high school graduate.
After Han Li separated from Niu Dahai, he turned around to a deserted place, collected his things, and went to the post and telecommunications office.
He sent several bottles of linden tree honey collected during this period to his family, as well as chaga antler, snow clam, and deer antler tablets. These medicinal materials can be taken alone and are good for the body, and each one has its use and dosage indicated. etc.
There are many other good things, but Han Li doesn't dare to send them to his family, mainly because he doesn't know their current physical condition. If he eats them randomly, he can easily turn good things into bad things.
In addition to these, there are also dried monkey legs, black fungus, mother-in-law and other wild vegetables that can be dried and stored.
Han Li specifically emphasized in the letter that these things can only be eaten by his own family and must not be given away or exchanged for money.
In fact, Han Li is not afraid that Father Han and Mother Han will give these things to others. This gift exchange is unavoidable. The main reason is that he is afraid that they will use them to exchange for money, just like the meat last year.
After Han Li finished his work and rode back to the village, he handed Qi Zhaodi his graduation certificate, which made her burst into tears.
During this period, Zhang Chaomei often came over to ask Han Li some questions.
However, her movements are much bolder now, and she is very relaxed as long as there are no other people around. Not only does she no longer blush when talking about some special words and acupuncture points, but she also looks like she is being guided by Han Li.
Days like this have passed day by day, and the soybeans in the crop fields have begun to blossom, and the corn has sprouted cherry blossoms.
The autumn protection team in the village was activated again, and this time it was not that they found any traces of wild boars.
But the sugar beet fields in the village were so precious that even a little loss would make the captain curse.
That's why the Qiu Protecting Team started early today, just to minimize possible accidents.
When the radio went off, the villagers' reaction was average, but the reaction among the educated youth was very strong.
Especially when the old educated youth heard that they could get pork by joining the autumn protection team last year, not only the male educated youth could not sit still, but even many female educated youth ran to the village committee to sign up.
The village committee welcomes the educated youth to sign up for the autumn protection team. After all, the more people the better for defense.
However, if the educated youth want to join the autumn protection team, they must first sign a military order, just like last year. Those who disobey the command will have their work points deducted, and those who make trouble will not only have their work points deducted but also be severely punished. If there are no wild beasts coming down the mountain, they cannot complain. If they encounter wild beasts and get injured, they must attribute it to their own reasons, etc.
However, these educated youth have already known these contents, and none of them backed down, including several female educated youth.
In fact, these educated youth only planned to sleep in the shack. Even if wild beasts appeared during this period, they did not plan to go out.
Changing a place to sleep will give them a chance to get meat. In their opinion, only a fool would not participate in such a good thing.
Han Li did not care when he heard the broadcast in the village. He could sleep at home with his wife, so he did not want to go to the field to guard the shack and a group of men.
However, Village Chief Zhao may have seen that Han Li was too idle recently, so after the broadcast stopped, he came to find Han Li and asked him to join the autumn protection team.
"Isn't it, Uncle Zhao? Aren't there many people in the village participating?"
"You haven't shown up much during this period, so you should at least show up now."
Village Chief Zhao saw that Han Li was still a little reluctant, so he changed the subject and continued.
"Sleeping there at night is not sleeping, how about this, I know your dog is very powerful, you are also very skilled, and you have a gun in your hand, I allow you to guard a shack alone, as long as there is no situation, you can sleep in it until dawn and no one will care about you, how about it?"
"Oh, Uncle Zhao, how polite is this, since I have joined the autumn protection team, I will definitely guard it strictly at night, but can the shack I guard be placed at the outermost edge?"
"Okay, you can choose this position at will, but you have to build the shack yourself."
In this way, Han Li once again joined the village's autumn protection team.
The next day, the village began to send people to maintain those shacks.
Han Li also picked up his favorite location early with a shovel and an axe.
As for building a simple shack, it was not a problem for Han Li, even without using the golden finger.
Han Li chose a location halfway up the mountain, far away from the shacks in the village, which could ensure that he could get enough sleep at night.
Moreover, this was one of the only ways for wild animals to go down the mountain. The dog was guarding beside him, so he could not escape as long as there were wild animals passing by.
Even if there were more than a dozen wild boars at a time, it would not be a problem. You should know that Han Li's skills were far better than last year, and he was now a man with a gun. Those wild boars could not resist the flames of five or six guns.
Han Li rested and stopped today. It took him a day to build a shack that could shelter from the wind and rain, and he dug several traps around it, and left trap marks in conspicuous places.
The news that Han Li joined the autumn protection team this year and guarded a shack alone soon spread, and only Hou Yuhua and other new educated youth would worry about Han Li's safety.
Old educated youths like Hao Hongmin only symbolically reminded Han Li to be careful, which was completely different from the situation last year.
Zhang Yaozu actually wanted to act with Han Li, but was rejected by Han Li with a special mission given by the village. Zhang Yaozu asked unwillingly.
"Brother Han, does the autumn protection team have a special mission?"
"Of course, if wild boars really appear, they will most likely turn around and run away, and I just want to reduce the number of them escaping and try to leave more meat in the village.
Think about it, the fleeing wild boars are like a cavalry charge. At that time, I could barely protect myself, and I had no ability or opportunity to protect others, so following me was the most dangerous."
Han Li's words were not completely deceiving Zhang Yaozu, because the place he chose did have such a function.
It took two days to repair the shacks in the village. Not long after dinner on the third day, the village loudspeaker was already calling for the autumn protection team to assemble.
After hearing the broadcast, the Yun sisters poured the dried honey water into Han Li's kettle, and took out the prepared dried meat and put it in the bag.
They loaded the double-barreled shotgun and the 56-and-a-half with bullets in advance, and arranged the spare bullets of the two guns in a neat and easy-to-reach place.
Han Li hugged the two sisters, and took the leader Yamamoto to meet up with everyone.
On the grain drying field, compared to others who still had to wait for the village committee to assign a team, Han Li was more relaxed. He squatted on the side and chatted with his half-apprentice Liang Dawei and his group.

Thanks: Xiaohunzi reward: 100 points.
