After breakfast, I put on my backpack and went up the mountain to pick up mountain products.
Relieve the situation where Li Aihua is too busy at home.
The number of people in our family has increased this year, and we have been buying food for the past two months.
If the family hadn’t had surplus food from the previous two years, we would have had to buy food during the summer.
Therefore, everyone was full of enthusiasm when picking up mountain products.
We should pick up more mountain products. With these products, we can last until the end of the year and no longer need to buy food.
After about a week, the autumn harvest was completely over and the adults who had been working were free.
But their work intensity is different from that of the children, so they took a two-day break before starting to go up the mountain to collect mountain products.
I also went to the fields to carry back some straw, wheat stalks and corn stalks to use as fire starters.
In the evening, I helped to collect the food from the private plot at home.
Take the dried grains that need to be shelled to the storage room and pay to have them polished.
For more than ten days, Daqing Mountain was extremely lively.
The Zhou family had never seen this scene before and found it novel.
Apart from eating, I spend the whole day running back and forth between the mountain and my home.
By November, all the mountain products had been picked and the villagers returned to work.
The land needs to be turned over and spring wheat planted.
Li Aihua also turned over her private plot of land and planted vegetables for the winter.
Hu Lin went up the mountain to restore the traps and continued his way of making money in the last month of the year. He cooperated with Li Aihua to store game for the winter.
With the onset of the rainy season, all the work in the fields has been completed.
Everyone started going up the mountain to chop wood to prepare for the winter.
The Hu family has Zhou Honggan as their new family member this year, so of course a lot of firewood will be consumed.
The two of them went up the mountain to chop firewood every day, and it took them nearly half a month to prepare enough firewood for their family to use during the winter.
After a few days of rest, the year-end settlement began.
It was the first time that the Zhou family participated in this kind of activity. Zhou Jia and Hu Xiaoyi picked up baskets and carried backpacks to the storage room to distribute the grain.
When going to Zhou's house to collect food, Zhou Honggan followed Hu Xiaoyi's example and took out half of the food in exchange for money.
The rest of the food is half rice and half various coarse grains.
Several people worked for most of the day and finally got all the food back and put it in the warehouse.
Hu Xiaoyi gave the money he got to Li Aihua.
After the meal, the Zhou couple also gave Li Aihua the money that their family had received this year.
They said it was the food money for this year.
The four people in the Zhou family worked hard and earned more than twice as much as Hu Xiaoyi.
Li Aihua couldn't afford to charge so much money, so she only took one third.
According to the current price of grain, the difference is not much.
The couple did not take the remaining money back, saying that they wanted Li Aihua to use it to help buy some things.
Like cups, kettles, shoes, thermos bottles, cloth, cotton, etc.
“When the family split up, we got a shopping book that we haven’t used yet.
It’s the same for you to use now, and you don’t even need a ticket. ”
When Li Aihua heard the couple's request, she remembered her shopping book that was gathering dust in the cabinet.
“Our family was separated a long time ago.
Whatever we needed for the house, we have already bought it long ago, but it just sits there unused.
I originally thought it was a pity, but now it seems like it’s just right! ”
Xu Mingzhu was also delighted when she heard this, "That's really great."
She was not familiar with the prices here and was worried that the money was not enough, so she was thinking about whether she should add some more.
The money they hid, plus the money their son sent back, added up to several hundred yuan.
The whole family lives in the countryside, is self-sufficient, has little expenses, and has enough for daily necessities.
"Then thank you very much, sister." Zhou Honggan thanked.
Li Aihua smiled and said, "Why are you saying these polite words?"
After saying that, he thought of something and looked at Xu Mingzhu again, "By the way, you can go with me.
Isn't it more convenient to just buy what you want? ”
Hearing what Li Aihua said, the couple suddenly felt embarrassed.
The last time Zhou Honggan fainted, the militia came to see him, which was always a knot in their hearts.
They also knew that these five people were here to monitor their family.
They didn't know what the restrictions were. They were afraid of going with Li Aihua and causing trouble for her, so they asked her to buy it for them.
Li Aihua thought simply, and took Xu Mingzhu's hand and said, "We rely on this time to buy some things all year round, how can we not go and see it in person?"
What happened with the militia is over and done with.
Her son was very busy at that time and had no time to think about it.
I didn't know that those people were actually monitoring me.
When Xu Mingzhu heard this, she was somewhat moved.
Hu Lin was watching from the side and also said, "Just go, Auntie. It's a good opportunity to test their background."
After the last incident, they all learned a piece of news.
The militia must have known that the Zhou family lived in the Hu family's house, but they did not make trouble.
As for aid, there is none.
It’s not really surveillance.
Otherwise trouble would have occurred long ago.
It doesn't seem like it's protection.
After knowing that Zhou Honggan had fainted, he did nothing except to understand the situation.
