Chapter 140 The first and second stories!
The rain stopped in the morning.However, it cleared completely on the third day after the heavy rain.After the rain, the weather was gloomy for two days, with dark clouds but no sign of rain.
The weather was bad, and no one went to work until the day when the sun cleared completely.They all live at home and don't go out very much.Except for Su Qingzhi, apart from lying on the kang and sleeping late, he spent the rest of his time running up the mountain.
Compared with other people, the muddy path under Su Qingzhi's feet was not to mention walking on flat ground, but he was also walking like flying.
Su Qing went up the mountain just to collect supplies.For example, mushrooms only grow after rainy days. If you are lucky, you will also pick up rare fungi such as matsutake and Hericium erinaceus.Of course, most of them are fungus and so on.Every time he went up the mountain, Su Qingzhi would get a lot back. It can be said that he had a good time playing "Survival in the Wilderness: Mountains and Forests".
In just a few days, a lot of mountain goods were piled up in the room.
Lv Jiamu and Hu Lai are in charge of cleaning and drying the wet mountain products until they become dry so that they can be stored easily.
Su Qingzhi planned to send some to his parents when the mountain goods were dried.Hu Lai thought the same way, only Lu Jiamu, his relatives were all here, and his relationship with his stepfather was not very good, so he didn't plan to send some mountain goods back.
"Actually, Sangqiuzi Village is really rich in resources."
While tidying up, Lu Jiamu sighed at Hu Lai.Opposite the two of them, that is, at the door of the opposite wing, there were also a few people sitting there, who were also packing up mountain goods so that they could be dried in the sun.
It was Du Juan, Lin Miaomiao and Le Wenhua.In addition, the old educated youth who lived with the educated youth courtyard were also packing up the mountain goods.
They are all mountain goods, but the quality is uneven.
Some are quite dirty and need to be cleaned repeatedly, and the dirty parts need to be carefully cut off with a knife before they can be taken to dry.
Everyone is very busy, except Su Qingzhi, who is yawning and doing laundry.
"It's just too useless clothes." Su Qingzhi sighed and yawned casually. "It's kind of a waste rubber shoe."
Hu Lai: "Well, so next time you go up the mountain, take me up!"
"It's just you!" Su Qingzhi replied lazily while washing his clothes: "I'm slow, when I take you up the mountain, shall I collect the mountain goods, or clean you up?"
""
Hu Lai was unconvinced, and felt that in Su Qing's heart, he was almost a waste.I wanted to say something to protest|protest, but found that I was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
"Eat grass at noon today." Hu Lai said indignantly, "Shepherd's purse porridge is enough!"
"It's wild vegetables, not grass."
Su Qingzhi got up and wrung out the washed clothes, and went to the screen wall to dry the clothes on a hemp rope tied to the eaves.
Like other people in the contemporary era, most of Su Qingzhi's clothes were purchased from fabrics and sewed by himself.The color is plain, mostly black, dark blue and dark brown.
There are white shirts, made of good quality cloth.The style is small, but not very breathable.Su Qingzhi didn't like it very much, so most of the underwear outside was made of cotton and linen.For example, what Su Qingzhi is wearing now is pure cotton clothes.
In this era when wearing chemical fiber clothes is proud, Su Qingzhi's dress is not to mention how strange, at least a bit out of place.Just looking at his clothes, it is impossible to tell that he is a kid from the city.
"The shepherd's purse salad tastes really good." Lu Jiamu thought about it, and said, "Yesterday, my dad and grandpa collected a lot of shepherd's purse near the cowshed. It's so fresh and tender that you can squeeze water out. I took a lot of it." Come back, let’s make shepherd’s purse at noon.”
"Well, yes."
"By the way, what are the pickles used to pickle?" Hu Lai suddenly yelled. "I heard from people in the village that the radish planted in the field, just the tassel of the radish, can be used not only for pickling vegetables, but also for making pickles."
"Radish sprouts and kimchi taste pretty good." Hearing the conversation between them, an old educated youth suddenly chuckled, and cheerfully interjected: "Now that the weather is good, I can buy some radish and green vegetable seeds from the villagers. Clean up the open space outside the Educated Youth Court, plant some radishes and greens, and in winter, you will have fresh vegetables to eat."
"Just eat carrots?" Hu Lai stared. "There are no other vegetables to eat."
"What else do you want to eat if you don't eat radishes?" The man asked back, "When I was in the city, no one ate meat all the time."
"My family does eat meat all the time."
""
The man was speechless, not knowing what to say.In fact, the family conditions of most sent-down youths are not good, and basically they all have their own helplessness.Those who are rich and powerful, unless necessary, will basically find a way to find a job, and will not choose to go to the countryside to suffer hardships.
It can be said that eating meat once a month is the norm.
Like Su Qing's House, eating meat basically once a week is considered a decent life.
And like Hu Lai's family, well, big dogs don't want to talk about it.
He's just a tough guy, who doesn't know how much shock he can bring to people when he hums casually.
Not only was the old educated youth so irritated that he didn't want to talk, even Su Qingzhi and Lu Jiamu ignored him to discuss hunting in the mountains.
"I'll go for a walk on the mountain in the afternoon to see if I can get a few stupid rabbits."
Well, rabbits are all about a few sets, Su Qingzhi is really an ordinary little hunter.
"Old Su, set a few more." The educated youths who had already eaten separately and started their own small stoves began to boo, saying that it had been almost ten days and a half months without meat. "It is said that they want to make pig-killing dishes, but in this weather, who knows when to eat pig-killing dishes."
"As far as the few pigs raised in the village are full, they only weigh more than 100 catties. Can the skinny ones be eaten?"
"No matter how thin it is, it's still meat."
"Too."
Right, no matter how thin it is, it is still meat.Su Qingzhi, who went up the mountain in the afternoon and caught a litter of skinny squatting rabbits, comforted himself like this.
It doesn't make sense, why did the rabbits in the mountains lose weight in just one month?
Su Qingzhi returned to the Educated Youth Court with the litter of skinny rabbits in a daze. He never thought that the educated youths in the Educated Youth Court would say that the rabbits were quite big.
Su Qingzhi: "??? Don't you think they are small, are they thin?"
"It's normal for hares to be like this." A local who married an educated youth said, "One at least a catty, which is big enough."
"Oh, all right."
Su Qingzhi had nothing to say, and shared the thin and well-proportioned rabbits with the educated youths. That night, the entire educated youth courtyard wafted a strong smell of meat.
Su Qingzhi still cooks the dinner, Lu Jiamu is in charge of cleaning the rabbit, chopping meat and vegetables, and Hu Lai is in charge of lighting the fire. They work together to cook the whole rabbit into a dish.There is also cold shepherd's purse, which has been prepared in a bowl long ago and sent to the five old men who live in the cowshed.And it was sent when it was completely dark and no one was there.
Sangqiuzi Village is located in the mountains and forests, so it can be called remote and desolate. The whole village is full of people, and there are about [-] households.On weekdays, those young men in the county seat who love revolution don't come to Sangqiuzi Village very often.
In their perception, Sangqiuzi Village is a poor place.And every year, they have to brazenly apply for relief food, and they don't even get enough food every year.
And this is also the reason why the five old men sent to Sangqiuzi Village can live in peace.
Lu Jiamu's caution cannot be said to be completely unnecessary.Let's put it this way, when Lu Na stayed in the village and was ready to trouble him at any time, Lu Jiamu was cautious and properly concealed the relationship between Grandpa Lu, Papa Lu and him.
If Luna finds out, according to Luna's love brain, do you think Luna will do bad things with good intentions to make Lu Jiamu have no worries and bring trouble to Grandpa Lu and Papa Lu?
If you think about it carefully, this is not possible, but entirely possible.It can be seen that Lu Jiamu's caution is absolutely necessary.No, Lu Jiamu had just delivered vegetables to the cowshed, and the villagers in the entire Sangqiuzi Village were basically asleep.
The lights in the room belonging to Su Qingzhi, Hu Lai, and Lu Jiamu in the Educated Youth Academy were still on.When Lu Jiamu came back, Su Qingzhi had already gone to bed and read a book, and Hu Lai, he was picking his feet.It literally means picking your feet, and while picking your feet, you lament that your life is getting rougher.
Su Qingzhi: ""
What kind of human suffering is this?
Why his roommates are all very unique.
The whole room smells of big feet.
Su Qingzhi: "Don't pick it, okay? If you pick it again, I will really kick you out."
"What are you picking?" Lu Jiamu pushed the door open and came in.
Su Qingzhi pointed at Hu Lai who was slovenly and still picking his feet. "Look what he's doing."
"Pick your feet!"
Lu Jiamu was a little puzzled, and asked Hu Lai.
"Are your feet itchy?"
Su Qingzhi: "No, his hands are itchy!"
Lu Jiamu chuckled, not knowing what to say.Anyway, from Su Qingzhi's words, he could hear a lot of resentment.
"Tomorrow, it seems that we will transport food to the county town."
Lu Jiamu went to pour a basin of hot water first, and while soaking his feet, he said, "It's the village party secretary leading the team. If we don't deliver food, I'm afraid there will be another heavy rain."
Su Qingzhi: "If you don't collect and pick up the half-dried grain, it is indeed easy to get damp again."
Hu Lai: "How does the village party secretary plan to send food to the food station, or send two-thirds of the mission food as usual?"
"The year is not good. If all the task rations are handed over, the villagers will be very sad this winter." Su Qingzhi interjected: "So the village cadres in Sangqiuzi Village are the real good cadres. Falsifying and placing satellites indiscriminately."
"Recently there is a satellite with a yield of [-] jin per mu?" Hu Lai finally grasped the point and asked.
"Which year is it not?" Su Qingzhi was silent, and said again: "Anyway, store up the supplies well. Who knows what the year will be next year once this year is over."
