Chapter 32 I Only Care About Money
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry. We used smoke to drive the bees away first, and then I went up to pick them after they were almost smoked out. And I was wrapped up tightly. Mumu took off his shirt and wrapped my head with it, and took off his pants and wrapped my hands with it. Look at me, I'm fine."
Zhang Ruifeng: "...Luckily it's cool now, so I'm wearing more than one layer of clothing. If it were summer, Mumu would be naked! You two are so brave!"
Xie Shen chuckled, "Mom, I definitely wouldn't dare to do this alone. I have my sister here."
Zhang Ruifeng asked him, "How did you hide?"
"I just squatted there, curled up into a ball, and my sister held me in a basket. Unexpectedly, a bee got in through the crack..."
Zhang Ruifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Luckily, you didn't lose your composure when you were stung. If you had jumped up and tried to run, you would have been stung even harder."
Xie Shen laughed and said, "How could I be so stupid!"
Zhang Ruifeng pulled him over to take another look. Seeing that there was indeed only one sting, she felt relieved and said, "Don't do this again! It's too dangerous!"
The siblings assured in unison, "Got it, Mom!"
After a pause, she asked again, "You two didn't leave any sparks on the mountain, did you?"
"No, no, we put it out. We even dug a hole and buried it. After we finished our work, we picked up some firewood nearby and went back to check to make sure everything was fine before returning."
Xie Shen peed.
"How did you two light the fire?"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I brought matches. I thought if we encounter any animals on the mountain, I could light a fire to scare them. Isn't it said that wild animals are afraid of fire? I brought them just in case."
Xie Shen added, "We only went in a little bit. We were still wandering around the edge of the mountain, not going too far in. If it weren't for picking the beehive, the matches wouldn't be useful at all."
Zhang Ruifeng asked, "Where is the beehive?"
"In my room, in a bucket."
Xie Shen ran back and took out the bucket.
Zhang Ruifeng picked up the bucket and shook it. It was quite heavy. "It must weigh six or seven pounds, right?"
"almost."
Zhang Ruifeng took a pair of chopsticks, reached in, picked up a little bit of honeycomb honey and put it in her mouth. The taste was mellow, sweet with a little sourness, delicious!
Xie Yun said, "This honey needs to be processed and filtered a little bit. I read a book before that said you should heat it to around 60 degrees Celsius for about ten minutes to kill any bacteria inside. Filtering it will make it taste better and free of impurities."
Zhang Ruifeng said, "You two should also take a pair of chopsticks and try it."
Xie Shen obediently went to fetch two pairs of chopsticks, and the brother and sister each took a bite. It was truly delicious, not greasy or greasy, and with a natural aroma.
Zhang Ruifeng asked, "Not bad, right?"
Xie Shen nodded repeatedly: "Not bad."
Zhang Ruifeng asked Xie Yun, "Does the old comrade from the commune want this? I heard it's very nutritious."
Xie Yun: “…”
"Mom, let's keep it for ourselves. You've suffered so much over the years, this is a good way to replenish your body."
Xie Shen agreed with her: "My sister is right."
Zhang Ruifeng shook her head. "No, no, no, I don't think my body is in good condition. I've already made up for it by eating an egg every day recently. I don't have any back or leg pain anymore. I feel great. There's no need to supplement. Sell it."
Xie Yun knew that she was not lying. She added some spiritual spring water to her water every day, some protein powder to her food, and occasionally added some multivitamins when kneading the dough. It was not in vain!
Xie Shen wanted to persuade her again, but Zhang Ruifeng said, "Don't persuade me, I'll accept the money now."
Xie Yun: “…”
Xie Shen: “…”
Zhang Ruifeng asked them, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm obsessed with money?"
Xie Yun flattered: "No, no, I just think my mother is so wise!"
Xie Shen followed closely behind: "Mom always tells the truth. Others only care about money and don't say it out loud, but only Mom tells us the truth."
Zhang Ruifeng laughed and said, "That's right. I dare say that there is no one who doesn't like money. The saying that the poorer you are, the more glorious you are is a lie!"
Xie Yun thought, isn't that right? This is also a kind of PUA! PUA targeting the entire population!
She said, "Then I'll go again tomorrow. I'll take half a day off this afternoon."
"OK."
As he was speaking, there were two knocks at the door.
"Sister Zhang, are you home? I'm coming in."
Xie Shen heard the sound and quickly picked up the bucket and turned to go into the main room. He placed the bucket next to the water tank and covered it with a curtain.
Zhang Ruifeng watched him enter the house before she stood up and went out to greet him, saying as she walked, "I'm here, come in."
The person who came was Yan Guixiang, the women's director.
Xie Shen brought a stool out of the room and said with a smile, "Director Yan, please sit down."
Yan Guixiang laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, young comrade!"
Xie Yun was about to pour her some water, but she stopped him.
"Don't worry, I'll be leaving in a few words. Gather at the brigade headquarters the day after tomorrow morning to begin this year's militia training. The training will be at the commune for half a month, and you'll be eating and sleeping there. You'll bring half your own rations, and the brigade will subsidize the other half. Militia training is based on work points. Binbin, practice hard. This is no easier than the autumn harvest, and it's even more tiring. There's going to be all kinds of hard work. We female militia members must perform well and can't be worse than the male comrades."
Xie Yun vowed: "Director Yan, don't worry! I will definitely not bring shame to our female comrades!"
"Okay! I'm relieved to hear you say that. You've always performed well. You're the best at farm work in our team, earning the highest work points. You're not afraid of hardship or fatigue. You and your mother are role models for us female comrades."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "It's because the atmosphere in our team is good. You did a good job of mobilizing people."
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "Stop praising me. I'll become proud if you continue praising me."
She went on, "Including you, there are a total of 10 female comrades in our brigade, and a little more male comrades, 24 in total. Don't wear new clothes, wear old ones, otherwise it will be painful when you crawl on the ground. There was a male comrade who wore new clothes to training. The instructor asked him to do an exercise, but he didn't move. When asked why, he said he was afraid of getting his new clothes dirty. The instructor was amused and confused. Later, he was told to take off his clothes to practice, and he practiced very well with his bare chest. He would rather wear out his skin than wear out his new clothes."
Xie Yun and Xie Shen both laughed when they heard this.
Xie Yun said, "Don't worry about that. I don't have any new clothes at all. Each one has patches on it, so I won't worry about it getting worn out. If it gets worn out, I'll come back and patch it up again."
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "You're right to think so. Binbin, militiamen are also soldiers. When a war really comes, militiamen will also participate in the battle! More sweat in peacetime, less blood in war, understand?"
"knew!"
Yan Guixiang stood up after she finished speaking and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving first."
"Hey, take care."
Zhang Ruifeng and Xie Yun sent her out.
Zhang Ruifeng said to Xie Yun, "Practice hard and become a good fighter! The female comrades participating in the militia training are all strong women. You can learn from each other and make progress together."
Zhang Ruifeng had the Little Red Book in his pocket and spoke revolutionary language fluently.
Xie Yun agreed with a smile, "Then I must practice hard. Not only will I practice hard these past few days, but I'll also practice with Mumu after I come back!"
