Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Protection

The next day, Lingling and Wanli went to kindergarten early in the morning. Lin Yue was worried that they would be ostracized by their classmates, but when he went to pick them up after school, he found that there were five or six children around them, both boys and girls, who followed them with admiration.

On the other side, Zhang Jian and a few little boys also came over. When Ling Ling saw Zhang Jian, she immediately protected the children around her and stood at the front with her hands on her hips. She looked up and glared at Zhang Jian fiercely, saying fiercely: "Zhang Jian, if you bully others again, Wanli and I will beat you up together!"

Zhang Jian was also unwilling to accept the defeat, and several little boys followed Ling Ling's example, standing with their hands on their hips and glaring back at him.

A group of kids made this move, which was both awkward and funny. Lin Yue almost laughed out loud when he saw it at the door.

Zhang Jian suddenly remembered something and looked around. He saw Lin Yue at the gate, holding a child in his arms. He quickly put his hands down and put them in his shirt pockets. He shook his head at his companions and said in a mature manner, "You little brats, I won't bother with you. Let's go!"

After Zhang Jian left, Lingling and Wanli soon discovered Lin Yue. The two children ran over and threw themselves into their mother's arms. Little Mushroom was held in her mother's hand, and with the other hand he pulled his new clothes, shouting, "Sister! Brother!" The two siblings looked back and saw that the little guy was wearing a white pullover with a few yellow flowers sewn on it. The little guy pulled the flowers on the clothes to show his brother and sister, and said proudly, "Beautiful!"

This dress was worn by Wanli and Lingling when they were little. Although they don't remember it, they saw their mother take it out and mend it. They found that the places where the flowers were were stained and couldn't be washed off. They also knew that there was another dress with small pink flowers sewn on it.

Lingling and Wanli glanced at her casually and said perfunctorily, "Meimeimeimei, you are the most beautiful!" Then they turned around and excitedly took Lin Yue's hand and said, "Mom, can we not go back home for lunch? Diandian and the others said we can eat in the cafeteria and asked us to go to the cafeteria together!"

Lin Yue had heard that the school had a cafeteria, so she nodded and smiled, "Of course you guys have made good friends so quickly. Come on, mom will go with you to see if we need to pay for the food coupons!"

The kindergarten is located in a small courtyard in the primary school. The cafeteria is very close to the kindergarten and you can reach it in a short walk. The cafeteria is not very large and there are already several people sitting inside, including students and teachers. The kindergarten teacher is also there, feeding several young children with a small spoon.

Lin Yue greeted the two and looked around. She only saw these two teachers, not Teacher Liu from yesterday. It seemed that the punishment she received yesterday was not light. What she didn't know was that because she privately asked for favors from parents and suppressed other children, Lin Yue never saw this soft-spoken but very partial teacher in kindergarten again in the days that followed.

Lin Yue was thinking about something, and followed a group of children to the food window. He asked in detail and only then did he feel relieved.

Kindergarten children are still young, and many of them cannot read. It is not practical to ask them to bring money to get food, so the school simply made some meal tickets for the cafeteria, which can be redeemed by parents or students themselves in the cafeteria. One meal ticket is a meal, three dishes and one soup, and you can eat as much as you want. In addition, in order to take care of the inconvenience of children carrying lunch boxes back and forth, the cafeteria also prepared plates and bowls and chopsticks, which is very thoughtful.

However, parents eat much more than children, so except for teachers and some school staff, adults are not allowed to eat in the cafeteria.

Lin Yue redeemed his meal ticket and watched the two children excitedly line up with their friends to get their meals before he left with the two little ones, smiling.

She just checked and saw that today's lunch was fried potatoes, stewed taro and a fish ball soup. She heard from the staff that because there was fish ball soup today, there were only these three dishes.

The big pot of rice wouldn't taste very good, and Lin Yue just took a look and saw that the dishes didn't have any oil at all, so they probably wouldn't be very delicious. But looking at the excited looks of Lingling and Wanli, they should be able to enjoy it for a while.

In the afternoon, two people came from the army and went door to door to count the number of soldiers and whether they were willing to get land. The army did not give land to military families for free. Although it was considered private land, families who wanted land still had to pay some grain to the army every year. This form was very similar to the big contract responsibility system a dozen years later.

Some of the family members who followed the army already had jobs, and some had to take care of four or five children. These people didn't want too much land, but they also wanted a place to grow some vegetables. Whether they had been asked or not, they all gathered in the corridor to inquire about the news. The whole building was noisy. The family building where Lin Yue lived had five floors in total, and there were more than a dozen households on each floor. The two little warriors were surrounded by a group of sisters-in-law and aunts asking questions. They were sweating, and they didn't even finish counting one floor this afternoon.

When Zhang Yuandong came back, he went to the kindergarten to pick up Lingling and Wanli. When the three of them got home, Lin Yue and Xu Xiaodi from next door were still in the corridor, sticking their heads out to listen to the commotion downstairs.

Zhang Yuandong laughed and said, "Let's go home. I think there's still a lot of time to go on about this matter. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have another holiday. By the time the statistics are sent to our house, it will be next week at the latest."

Lin Yue smiled, said goodbye to Xu Xiaodi, and followed her home.

Zhang Yuandong came back early today, and Lin Yue hadn't had time to cook yet. She wanted to eat hot pot, so she avoided the children and sneaked into the space with Zhang Yuandong.

As soon as he entered the space, Zhang Yuandong noticed something different.

The space has changed a lot now. The area near the tent has not changed, but other places are not similar at all. Originally, there were flower fields and streams not far in front of the tent, and other than that, it was just a vast expanse of white. But now, standing in front of the tent and looking far away, the stream is no longer the end. There is a stretch of land farther away, which is at least 20 acres. The lake that used to be in the corner has now moved to this piece of land in the distance. The area is much larger than before, and there is a small pond next to it.

Behind the tent, the small hill turned into a continuous mountain range, semi-enclosed, located at one end of the land, blocking the view to the distance.

Taking the area around their tent as a reference, the current layout of the space can be said to be truly close to the mountains and the water. Unfortunately, the house has not been built yet, and the original tent is still standing there, the only difference is that the tent has a different pattern.

Lin Yue saw him looking around, and his eyes finally fell on the tent. He waved his hand in front of his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't look at it. You said you would build a house for me. I definitely can't do it myself. I'm just waiting for you to build it for me!"

Zhang Yuandong came back to his senses and thought of what he had said two years ago. His face turned red and he assured, "Don't worry, I will come in and build the house as soon as I am free. I guarantee that the task will be completed this year!"

Seeing how serious he was, Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud. She carried a dragon and led Zhang Yuandong across the mountain. When he saw the scene on the other side clearly, Zhang Yuandong was almost stunned. Suddenly, a vast expanse of water appeared in front of him, and even a beach.

He opened his eyes wide, pointed his finger forward, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Lin Yue put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Well, you didn't expect it, right? I knew I was going to join the army, so I created a sea in space!"

In fact, the word "sea" is not appropriate, as this area of ​​water is less than 100 acres, which is about the same size as an ordinary residential area.

The two of them came down from the hill and came to a pond-like place. This was a shrimp pond specially reserved by Lin Yue. The land on the shore of the shrimp pond was very hard, with many small holes on it, which were the nests of small sand crabs. There were also many red vegetables with thin round leaves growing on the land on the shore. In the small county town, this kind of vegetable is called sea salicornia.

Lin Yue stuffed some steamed buns and raw meat into the cage, found a suitable spot, put the cage down, pointed to the shore and said to Zhang Yuandong: "In a few days we can pick some sea salicornia and steam buns to eat!"

Zhang Yuandong's brain was still in a state of panic. If he had seen such a scene when he first came here, he would have been shocked, but it would not have been greater than this time.

He listened to Lin Yue's endless plan to catch the sea in a while, was pulled over the hill again, caught a sheep according to her instructions, and returned to the vicinity of the tent before he finally came to his senses.

Zhang Yuandong usually doesn't talk much, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face at this time, so Lin Yue didn't notice anything unusual about him. She left Zhang Yuandong to process the mutton by the river while she went to prepare the vegetables.

There were many kinds of vegetables in the space. In the past few years in the countryside, Lin Yue had planted as many seeds as she could find. She pulled a cabbage from the vegetable garden, and picked some lettuce, chrysanthemum, spinach, potatoes, and cucumbers. There were so many kinds that she washed them clean and then took two vegetable washing basins and put them all in the basin.

There are several old trees in the space, and wood ears often grow on them, but fresh wood ears are not edible. Lin Yue would occasionally pick some, dry them and store them, but unfortunately she stopped doing that when she got better, and now there is no stock.

Although you can't eat wood ear mushrooms, fortunately there are still many mushrooms growing in the woods near the river. Lin Yue followed his memory and found many mushrooms in a relatively damp pine forest, including hazel mushrooms, agaricus mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and goose cream mushrooms. Lin Yue picked them all the way and picked a full basket of large and small mushrooms, which satisfied his mushroom-picking addiction.

Zhang Yuandong was very quick and had already cleaned the mutton. All that was left was slicing it.

Of course, it is better to slice the meat for hot pot thinner. Fresh meat is not easy to slice, so Lin Yue asked Zhang Yuandong to carry the processed mutton and lamb chops and took him to the cellar.

In recent years, Lin Yue has not found a way to control the temperature of the space, but she dug a cellar last winter and stored a lot of ice in it. There is an area dedicated to meat, which serves as a large refrigerator. The meat can be placed in it, and the lamb that needs to be sliced ​​can be frozen slightly harder for easy slicing. The remaining lamb and lamb chops will be kept for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.

Coming out of the cellar, she stuffed a fishing net into Zhang Yuandong's hand and asked him to go to the small pond to catch a black fish, while she went to the seaside to collect the nets.

The shrimps caught in the ground cage were not many, but they were about two kilograms. There were also a few small crabs in it, but they were not big. Lin Yue picked out the smaller shrimps and a few crabs and threw them back into the shrimp pond, then went back with the ground cage.

Zhang Yuandong had already caught a black fish and was cleaning it up. Lin Yue showed him the ground cage and boasted, "Look at the shrimp I caught. How about it? Not bad, right?"

Zhang Yuandong smiled and said, "This nylon net is not easy to get. I wonder how you came up with the idea of ​​using this kind of cage to catch shrimps."

"Yes, this was found for me by Sister Xiuxiang. Her family is near the sea, and almost every household makes their own nets. However, they go fishing in the sea, and they don't have such fine nets. Sister Xiuxiang helped me find someone to make this one with small holes, which is just right for catching shrimps."

While Lin Yue was talking, she did not stop moving her hands. She took out the shrimp meat, removed the shrimp thread, chopped it up, and then mixed it with egg white to make shrimp balls.

The two of them worked in the space for several hours. When they finished dealing with everything, more than an hour had passed outside. When they left the space, they saw the four children in the living room, walking quietly and talking in low voices.
