Time is the best medicine for pain. Except for Wu Dachun's family, everyone seems to have slowly forgotten this person.
Heilongjiang Province soon welcomed its first snow. As expected, this winter was colder than in previous years.
Unlike others who were struggling to get by, Ningxia started heating the kang early.
In Ningxia, the kang (kang) is on the south side of the house, but the hole in the kang extends outwards to the north wall. The entire wall from north to south is heated, so even if you're not lying on the kang, the room is still warm.
Doing so would be a waste of firewood, but Ren Jingxiao had already prepared all of this. Ningxia thought, if it weren't for Ren Jingxiao, she would probably be wearing a thick coat and shivering in the quilt!
Ningxia was not wrong. The educated youth at the educated youth site were like this at the moment, shaking more rhythmically than the other.
They have much less firewood than the villagers, and they don't usually save it. They use whatever firewood they pick up every day.
I never thought about saving some, for I was afraid that someone would use less and take advantage of it.
But fortunately, they lived in a brick house with stone bricks and tiles on the roof, so they didn't have to go up to the roof to sweep the snow. Except for meal times, they stayed in bed.
As for the snow at the door, no one would sweep it unless it blocked the door and they couldn't get out. Even the meals were changed from three to two a day, and no one wanted to go out unless they had to.
Many families in the brigade had straw mats as roofs, and the straw was useless. But they relied on the straw for warmth, and even in the coldest weather, they would go up to their roofs and sweep the snow every day, hoping that the straw mats would last a little longer.
"Is this enough? How about I take some of the saved wild boar meat?" This was the first time Ren Jingxiao heard Ningxia mention her family. He didn't know why it was godmother, but he didn't ask. Xia Xia would tell him naturally when she wanted to.
But he still wanted to leave a good impression on her family. It was winter and the animals in the mountains did not come out. He only shot a roe deer and a few rabbits, which he felt was a bit too little.
"That's enough! Sending too much at once will scare my godmother. Wait until spring and send some more together with the dried wild vegetables." Ningxia pickled the meat and asked Ren Jingxiao to help her send it out.
"I want to go with you! I have a military coat, so I'm not cold at all!" It was too tiring to stay in the house. I could only look out the small window at the vast expanse of white outside every day.
"No, the snow outside hasn't melted yet and the road is too slippery. I have to go get something and can't carry you. Be good! I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
Ren Jingxiao couldn't do anything with Ningxia. He didn't know how to coax people. After he finished speaking, he could only look at Ningxia eagerly, hoping that she would be obedient!
Seeing him like this, Ningxia really didn't want to embarrass him. She didn't know when this guy had learned this: when he couldn't convince her, he would just look at her pitifully until she changed her mind.
She is even more useless. She always says she can't be fooled, but she always fails!
In the end, Ren Jingxiao went to the town wearing a military coat that was obviously one size too small. Ningxia knew that he had been selling medicinal herbs recently, and he had given her a thousand yuan during this period.
Ren Jingxiao sold a wild ginseng and a lot of medicinal herbs. Recently, he was either busy with medicinal herbs or husking rice in the mountains.
He harvested nearly a thousand kilograms of rice in the mountains, threshed half of it and kept it, and sold the rest secretly. He was very cautious and did not sell much.
Xia Xia always said that they would not stay here forever. He thought that he had no special skills, so he took advantage of the opportunity now to save more money.
From then on, no matter where they went, Ningxia would not be embarrassed by money. He did not tell Ningxia that she was timid.
He doesn't show up often. After selling medicinal herbs for so many years, he knows something about the situation in the black market, and he has the protection of Fifth Master!
These things of his were not noticeable among the crowd, and the black market boss also asked him to sell some wild game occasionally to have a good year.
The sky was dark, a crescent moon shining across the white snow-covered road. Ren Jingxiao walked quickly, and as soon as the crescent moon turned into the morning sun, he was already in town. The town post office wasn't open yet, so he carried his belongings to the deserted house in town.
"Brother Ren, you're here!" Chu Zhenyu had been wandering in the old house for several days. Finally, he waited for the person and hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
"Brother Ren, do you still have the ginseng I got last time?" Chu Zhenyu hurriedly stated his purpose as soon as he entered the door.
Ren Jingxiao lowered his eyes, frowning. Once was a favor, but after so many times, no one was stupid. He needed to consider whether they still wanted to cooperate.
"Brother Ren, don't misunderstand me. I'm not doing this to make money, this time I'm doing this to save lives. Don't worry, if you can find more ginseng this time, you'll definitely get the benefits!"
Seeing Ren Jingxiao's face darken, Chu Zhenyu hurriedly explained, and then looked at him expectantly.
Ren Jingxiao thought that this person could collect medicinal herbs from all over the country and nothing had happened for so many years. There must be something behind this.
The person he wanted to save must be someone more powerful.
In the past, he would not have gotten involved in these things because he was afraid of trouble, but now he wants a better life!
"Who do you want to save?" Ren Jingxiao looked at Chu Zhenyu. He wanted to know whether this person was worth the risk.
Chu Zhenyu thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Brother Ren, I won't hide it from you, this man is in the army. I can't say much else, but if we can rescue him this time, not to mention that we will be able to rise to prominence in the future, at least we can walk sideways in this Heilongjiang Province!"
Ren Jingxiao's eyebrows flickered. He believed Chu Zhenyu's words a little. Not to mention other things, even using a few ginseng roots to prolong life was something that ordinary people couldn't afford.
"What year do you want?" Ren Jingxiao agreed after careful consideration, and his words revealed that he had more than one ginseng.
Chu Zhenyu: “…”
What year is it? He has a different year? So why is he so hung up on this?
