"Then do you want to go to work?" Hu Xiaoyi had originally made up his mind, but now he had no choice but to ask.
"Are you blind? Isn't picking mountain products better than working?" These are completely different concepts.
The value of these mountain products seems to be free now, but how much will they cost to buy in the future?
Besides, its nutritional value is dozens of blocks higher than that of whole grains!
She really didn't care about how much food she could get in exchange for two months' work points.
"Can't you just speak properly? These mountain products you picked up can't be eaten as food." Hu Xiaoyi argued.
"Why not? Just eating chestnuts every day would kill you."
"you--"
"If my daughter doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go. It's all voluntary."
Ever since Li Aihua saw that she was able to convince Hu Xiaoyi last time, she plucked up the courage to persuade him again this time.
Hu Xiaoyi was interrupted and looked at the mother and daughter for a long time. Finally, he kept silent and ate his meal in silence.
Li Aihua was delighted to see the effect.
"I have to go up the mountain to collect mountain products before it gets dark. If you want to go, come with me. If not, I can go by myself." Hu Lin wanted to find Hu Xiaoyi to help him.
"Girl, I'll go with you." Li Aihua responded quickly.
Hu Lin refused, "No, you stay at home and deal with the mountain products you picked.
It is best to process mountain products picked on the same day.
It will take another two months, and if it piles up for a long time, I have to deal with it all at once. Wouldn’t that mean I have to stay up all night? It wastes fuel and hurts my health.”
After hearing this, Li Aihua stopped talking.
"I'll go with you after dinner." Hu Xiaoyi thought that they were close to the mountain and there was nothing to do after dinner, so they might as well go pick up some mountain products.
After dinner, Hu Lin and Hu Xiaoyi went up the mountain, while Li Aihua processed mountain products at home.
What needs to be cooked should be cooked, what needs to be pickled should be pickled, and what needs to be dried should be washed and dried.
The various kinds of winnowing baskets that Hu Xiaoyi had made some time ago came in handy at this time.
The same thing happened over the next two months.
The first thing the family does every morning when they get up is to put the mountain products to be dried on the roof.
This way you'll be exposed to less dust.
It was inconvenient for them to climb up and down, so Hu Xiaoyi did it.
Sometimes when Hu Xiaoyi returned home after working the night shift, it was early in the morning. At that time, he would put his things on the roof before going to bed.
Li Aihua runs back and forth every day, and goes up the mountain when she has free time. Except for delivering meals, Hu Lin spends his time picking mountain products.
By this calculation, her daily exercise volume is no less than when she was exercising, except that it is all in her legs.
As the autumn harvest is coming to an end, the dried mountain products in the house fill most of the cabinets, and chestnuts are piled up in a small hill in the corner of the living room.
It was enough for their family to get through the winter.
Since we had no tools to store the pickled mountain products, we had to eat them all.
Hu Xiaoyi was tanned as black as coal in the past two months, but he didn't look thinner because of the game she caught from time to time.
I just feel a little less energetic because I have to work night shifts and my daily routine is disrupted.
Li Aihua also became darker.
I don’t know if it’s because of the exercise in the past two months, or the wild game she ate to make up for the loss, but she looks less frail.
Of course, she herself also became darker, her face was okay, but her limbs were directly tanned to a contrasting color.
There's no way, it's too hot and I can't wear long sleeves.
We can only wait until winter to see if it can be restored.
After getting the money, Hu Lin asked Li Aihua to go to the health center to find Zhao Ming, who prescribed two cans of nutritional supplements for her.
Hu Xiaoyi just pursed his lips and said nothing in the end.
Because he also knew that Li Aihua was in poor health and had been working hard for two months.
The village has been collecting grain and storing it in the warehouse these two days. The village cadres are counting all the collected grain and registering it according to grades. They have been very busy these days.
The farmers are also a little busier than on normal days.
Not only do they have to dry out the last batch of millet, wheat, and corn, but they also have to be shelled and stored, waiting to be paid as public grain.
After all the crops in the fields were harvested, the red-armband militia team no longer guarded the border area of the village, but came back to assist the captain in supervising the guard duties.
Because the grain had not been fully registered at that time, people were afraid that some bad guys would steal the grain, so they had to stand guard 24 hours a day until the grain was paid.
Hu Lin and Li Aihua now go up the mountain every day to pick mountain products. These days they are picking wild grapes.
Although they don’t look as big as authentic grapes and are a bit sour, they also contain anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins are antioxidants, so drying them and making snacks is a good choice.
There is also hawthorn, which can be used as a snack.
While everyone was busy storing grain during these days, Hu Lin and Li Aihua picked almost all of the few wild grapes they had.
They also picked some wild fruits such as pears, dates, raspberries, and berries.
