Chapter 34 Collecting Firewood

Lin Manman: "I hope sister-in-law will remember that next time you want to smash something, consider whether you deserve it first.

Since you are so energetic today, don't forget to go to the fields to work with your parents later.

By the way, don’t keep track of your work points, so as not to embarrass yourself!

My sister-in-law would go and hoe whatever piece of land my father and mother were allocated. If she couldn't finish the work, she wouldn't have to come back for dinner!

Also, sister-in-law, don’t think about being lazy and letting our parents help you with the work. I will supervise them from time to time.

You know I'm a fool. I like to beat up people if I disagree with them, and no one can do anything to me!

If you don't want to be beaten any more, I advise you to just work hard!"

Lin Manman said these words and headed towards the kitchen.

Gu Zhuoyuan also hurriedly caught up.

They need to boil some hot water first and steam the buns before eating.

There was definitely no time to make breakfast, so I could only make do with a cup of milk and two buns.

While Gu Zhuoyuan was boiling water, Lin Manman fetched some water to wash up.

When she returned to the room and saw that Mao Chenxiang had also gotten up, she simply led him out.

She didn't plan to stay idle at home today, so she went to the back mountain to pick up some firewood.

Gu Zhuoyuan basically chopped the firewood for the family's fire, but he hadn't had the time for the past two days, and the firewood at home was almost gone.

She didn't have to put in much effort. She just had to put the firewood into the space and then put it back in the woodshed.

As for Mao Chenxiang, it depends on who he wants to follow.

If he wanted to follow Gu Zhuoyuan and the others, they would prepare some food for him and let him find a cool place to sit by himself.

If he wants to stay at home, just lock him in the room and find a toilet for him to use.

If you follow yourself, it won't be a big problem. At worst, you won't need space.

Breakfast was still only prepared for a few of them. If the others didn't work, they couldn't eat.

Only Gu Xing'er was secretly given a steamed bun by Qin Fangru when no one else was paying attention.

After dinner, Lin Manman wanted to help wash the dishes, but was stopped by Gu Zhuoyuan.

"You still have to go to the mountain to collect firewood later. Climbing the mountain and carrying firewood are both physically demanding tasks. You should take a break now.

If there is too much firewood, you can leave it on the mountain and I will carry it back when I get off work at noon.

Don't hold Xiaochen in your arms, let him walk by himself. If he can't walk anymore, stop and take a rest.

Remember to bring your kettle, I've already filled it with hot water."

Lin Manman nodded.

Just now while they were having dinner, they asked Mao Chenxiang.

Perhaps because her image of defeating bad guys was so deeply rooted in people's minds, Mao Chenxiang chose to follow her up the mountain.

She thought about it, prepared a basket, and put two apples, some steamed buns, and a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy in it.

They must be very tired after working in the fields, so prepare some food to take with them so they can fill their stomachs when they are hungry.

If you are too hungry, you might get hypoglycemia!

At this time, most people have some hidden diseases in their bodies, and the space has not been upgraded to the point where spiritual springs appear, so they can only strengthen their diet.

She felt it necessary to talk to the old man and ask him to put out the food he had prepared!

At worst, you can give yourself some raw meat!

The climate in Heilongjiang Province is relatively cold, and there is only one season of crops.

I've been weeding these days and will soon start planting crops like corn and soybeans, so I have to start getting busy.

After these things are planted, we need to water, fertilize, weed, etc., and we will be busy until the autumn harvest, and then this year's work will be finished.

How can you do such tiring work every day without any meat?

This body definitely can’t take it!

When it was time to go to work, the three idlers from the first and second wives finally left reluctantly under Lin Manman's deathly gaze.

They had gone hungry for two meals in a row and had no strength left in their bodies.

But Qin Fangru had already said that if they didn't go to the fields to work today, they would continue to have no food to eat.

They could only accept their fate and go to work.

If they don't go to work now, they might really die!

I’m really hungry!

In order to prevent them from fainting from hunger, Qin Fangru generously gave each of them a bowl of brown sugar water before leaving.

If you want to eat other things, it depends on their performance!

Lin Manman and Mao Chenxiang had just walked a short distance when Gu Xing'er caught up with them, carrying a basket.

"Aunt San, can I go up the mountain with you? I know a lot of wild vegetables. I can dig them up and help collect firewood." She said in a low voice.

When she saw her hesitation, Lin Manman knew that the child probably wanted to go with her, but was afraid that she would hit her.

After all, the beating I had done this morning was still fresh in my mind...

Lin Manman: "Of course! But we're not going to the mountains, and there aren't many wild vegetables to dig up right now.

You can just help Third Aunt look after some of my younger brothers, and I can collect firewood myself."

She's not really that good at exploiting people...

Who doesn’t like a sensible child?

Of course, there are also people with mental problems, such as Qian Duoduo's mother, who would not like such a sensible daughter.

Instead, he dotes on his two naughty sons!

When Gu Xing'er heard that Lin Manman agreed to her agreement, she visibly relaxed a lot.

"Don't worry, Auntie San. I'm a good caregiver! I promise to help you keep an eye on your brother and prevent him from running around!"

Although Lin Manman does not have the original owner's memory, this mountain is actually not difficult to find.

Or to put it another way, there are mountains everywhere in the forward brigade, and you can go up the mountain wherever you go.

However, when Lin Manman found a shortcut and wanted to go up the mountain, she was stopped by Gu Xing'er.

She said, "Aunt San, there's nothing left on this mountain. It's almost all dug up by the villagers!

Why don't you come with me? I know which mountain has something!

When I was starving, I would sneak up to the mountain to find food when my mother wasn't paying attention. I'm very familiar with this place!"

Lin Manman had no objection and simply turned in another direction and followed her.

Mao Chenxiang didn't ask any questions, but just let Lin Manman lead the way and followed behind, looking around.

His eyes were rolling around, as if he was curious about the scenery in the mountains.

After walking for a long time, the three of them finally arrived at the place Gu Xing'er mentioned.

There are really a lot of things here, and you can even see green wild vegetables!

You know, when they came back the day before yesterday, there were nothing but barren mountains along the way.

The bare scene all around touched Lin Manman's heart deeply!

You can tell at a glance that the mountain was severely dug up in the past two years. Even after such a long time since the famine, the mountain has not recovered yet!

"Aunt San, I told you there was something here, right? Luckily I brought a basket, there are still plenty of wild vegetables to dig up!

You go collect firewood. My brother and I will stay here and wait for you to finish collecting firewood before we go back together."
