Ying Han was unaware of the villagers' gossip behind his back. After returning to the shed, he put today's grass in the sheep pen, washed his face, and drank a bowl of rabbit soup with wild vegetables that Aunt Pei had made that morning, which was left over from last night. That was all.

And they have to hold on until noon. Aunt Pei is worried about what to eat at noon. They have been short of food for several days.

There are still ten days before the food is distributed.

To say something very appropriate about the current situation, the pigs in the pigsty eat better than them.

"After I feed the pigs, I'll go dig some wild vegetables nearby." Aunt Pei sighed, feeling helpless.

Even the women can't stand it if it goes on like this all day long, let alone two men.

Especially Teacher Yan, he is the only one who does the dirtiest and most tiring work every day.

"Aunt Pei, I'll feed the pigs with you, and then we'll go dig wild vegetables together."

"good."

There were ten pigs, thirty or forty chickens, four old cows and two calves, three donkeys, and fifteen sheep in the cowshed.

Every day, Teacher Yan is responsible for cleaning up the feces of these animals, piling them up together, and using them as fertilizer for the farm.

Grandpa Liang is responsible for herding cattle and donkeys.

Ying Han is responsible for herding the sheep, and Aunt Liang is responsible for ten pigs and dozens of chickens.

Among these chickens, there are more than a dozen that lay eggs. Of course, the responsible people in the village come to collect them every day.

This is to prevent them from stealing.

Well, not having food to eat is not a sad thing. The most unbearable thing is getting sick.

When they get sick, they have no money to see a doctor. Even if they have money, no one is willing to come and see them.

So you can only endure it and get through it. If you can get through it, it's fine. If you can't, it means you are unlucky and this is the only way forward.

Fortunately, Ying Han has been here for more than a year, and in her memory, she has only been sick once, when she worked for several days in a row and was caught in the rain.

She had a fever in the middle of the night, so Aunt Pei stayed with her all night, constantly changing the towel she used to put on her forehead.

The next day, Grandpa Liang dug some wild ginger for her, boiled some ginger water, and drank it to reduce her fever.

During those days, Aunt Pei watched her and forced her to drink hot water constantly. After a few days, her illness was cured naturally.

So as long as you don’t have a fever, some minor colds can be overcome.

Grandpa Liang specially planted a few ginger sprouts not far from the shed. From two buds last year, there is now a large area of ​​them this year.

Grandpa Liang usually pays close attention to it and goes to check on it from time to time. This is their life-saving thing.

Ying Han was worried at the moment. This year was the summer of 1976. In the winter of this year, Ying's father, who was far away in the north, was beaten in the vitals by the villagers and did not survive.

No, now that she is here, she cannot let tragedy happen again. She has to find a way, preferably to mail something to her parents in this life.

But she doesn't have a penny on her now, and she is in the southernmost part of the country, while her parents are in the northernmost part of the country.

It's difficult to get through for the time being, and communication is even more impossible.

Contact his brother? He remembered that his brother was on a mission at that time and was injured, and he was unable to take care of himself.

Since God let her know the plot in advance, she must seize the opportunity and make sure not to let the original owner's family end up in such a tragic way this time.

"Hanhan, Hanhan? What are you thinking about? Let's go." After Aunt Pei packed up, she took two broken baskets from the house and handed one to Yinghan.

Ying Han quickly came back to his senses, took the basket and followed Aunt Pei.

In fact, when they went to dig wild vegetables, they didn't dare to go too far and just looked around the shed.

At this time, the most vigorous plant is the gray-gray vegetable. If you pinch off the head, it will grow again in a few days.

The good thing about being in the south is that wild vegetables are available all year round, but even if they are available all year round, they are still very popular because everyone is short of food.

In addition to the gray-gray vegetables, Ying Han also found some tree top vegetables and some amaranth.

Ying Han was reluctant to pinch it, so he planned to move it to an inconspicuous place, collect some of its seeds this year, and secretly plant some next year.

This way we will have food to eat later.

Aunt Pei said that few people have seen this place, so don't touch it for now.

"Aunt Pei, I miss my parents. I had a dream last night that something happened to my father. Do you think I can write a letter to them?"

"Hanhan, you can't write. It's not allowed."

Ying Han frowned, his brows full of worry, wondering what to do.

"Hey, child, be patient. You will meet your parents one day." Aunt Pei was also helpless. Who wouldn't want to? She thought about her daughter for countless days and nights.

I don't know how she is doing over there.

"To be honest, you are different from us. You are an educated youth and you can go back to visit your relatives."

Ying Han was delighted. "Really? Aunt Pei?"

"Yes, but you have to ask the village chief to give you a letter of introduction. If he doesn't give you a letter of introduction, you can't go back."

Village chief, the village chief here is quite difficult to talk to.

Ying Han was in trouble again, but this was also a solution. If she could go back to visit her relatives, she would secretly go over to see them.

At noon, clear soup with wild vegetables.

After dinner, everyone started their lunch break.

After Ying Han returned to his room, he sat on the bed and thought for a long time before he remembered his money from the original owner's memory.

He hurried downstairs to take out his bag, which contained a thick cotton-padded jacket.

When the cotton-padded jacket is turned inside out, there are two small holes in the lining of both sleeves.

Ying Han took out a stack of tickets from the small opening.

There was a thick handful of money rolled up in one sleeve. Ying Han counted them and found that there was a total of 120 yuan and 50 cents. This was the method her father told her before she came.

The other sleeve contained various tickets.
