Qin Fei still couldn't understand why Chen Suihuan seemed unwilling to take the college entrance examination, but Gao Yue, who had also been tortured by mathematics, physics and chemistry, could empathize with him.
But she still has some talent. Although her grades are not very good, she can still remember some things. If she cram and memorize them at the last minute, she will have a great chance of getting into a good university.
Everyone has their own destiny. Although Qin Fei and Gao Yue didn't quite understand it, they didn't keep asking about it.
The whole next day, the seven of them worked on the field picking chestnuts. However, picking chestnuts was a difficult job. Even though they picked all day, there were not many.
After that day, Chen Suihuan and his colleagues started working again, but the rice harvest had just passed and there was not much work to do in the fields, so they finished their work easily every day.
After work, they went up to the river immediately. Some chopped wood, some picked mushrooms. When they went deep into the river, they could also pick some delicious fruits.
Wild hawthorn, sorghum bubble, jujube and wild grapes.
This was the time when grapes were ripe, and they tasted sweet and sour. Chen Suihuan dug up a few vines and planted them in the space.
I picked the rest and filled a basket with them, half of which I planned to make into raisins and the other half to see if they could be made into wine.
After working on the 껚 for three or four days, Chen Suihuan and his companions managed to get a lot of food from the 껚. This way, they could save a lot of food for the winter.
The day to harvest cabbages finally arrived. Although there were a lot of cabbages planted in the village, it took all the team members four or five days to harvest all the cabbages.
What should be distributed will be distributed. If it is still not enough, people in the village will buy more food, and the rest will be sent to the purchasing station. The money earned will be distributed to the people in the team.
The seven of them, including what they bought, weighed a total of four to five hundred kilograms.
There were two empty rooms in their residence. One was filled with red dates, chestnuts, mushrooms and other things, and the other was filled with cabbages, which were so full that they almost covered the entire floor.
After the cabbages were harvested, the weather became colder, and after not having to go to work, they still had work to do every day.
Divide the cabbage into two parts, save one part and make the rest into sauerkraut.
Making sauerkraut is a technical job. Chen Suihuan and other new educated youth didn’t know how to do it. In the end, Chen Ye and Dai Wu took over and they helped out.
After the sauerkraut was pickled, they went to the people in the brigade and bought some other vegetables, which they also pickled.
It's unbearable to eat only pickled cabbage for a whole winter. You have to change the taste anyway.
After all these tasks were completed, frost began to form on the door panels in the morning, and Chen Suihuan and the others changed into thick cotton-padded clothes.
It was time to stop working. Seeing that it was about to snow again, Chen Suihuan and the other seven decided to go to the city to buy some things.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the town was too small, so they had to go to the city to buy what they needed. However, the city was far away, and they would have to stay there for at least one night, so they had to ask the brigade for a letter of introduction.
This kind of thing was very common, and the captain quickly wrote them a letter of introduction. The next day, the seven of them first took a horse-drawn carriage to the town, and then took a bus from the town to the city.
It was already afternoon when they arrived in the city. Chen Suihuan and her friends took the letter of introduction and went to a guesthouse to book a room. After resting in the room for a while, the seven of them went out for a walk together.
Because it was too late, they didn't go too far. They had dinner together at a nearby state-owned restaurant and then went back to their room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Chen Suihuan was still sleepy, and Qin Fei and Gao Yue came over excitedly to wake her up.
This time they didn't get together. Chen Suihuan and the other three girls went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, and no one knew where the boys had gone.
The things in the city's supply and marketing cooperative are quite good. Chen Suihuan has quite a few candy and pastry tickets, all of which were sent by Lu Xingyan and Chen Suian.
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Chen Suihuan thought it was not easy to come to the city, so he used all the tickets and bought a lot of candies and cakes.
Qin Fei and Gao Yue were not short of money, so they bought a lot of food. The wool looked good and they wanted to knit sweaters, so they bought a lot of wool.
Chen Suihuan was not good at this kind of delicate handicraft, but she knew how to knit scarves. Thinking of Chen Suihuan and Lu Xingyan, she also followed suit and bought some wool, preparing to knit a few scarves.
After buying some things for their daughter's household, Chen Suihuan and the others left the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Look at the bookstore in front, let's go buy the book you mentioned. Do you want to go?" Qin Fei asked Chen Suihuan.
Chen Suihuan shook his head: "I won't go. I'll send these things back first and then go around by myself. You don't have to wait for me."
After watching Qin Fei and Gao Yue leave, Chen Suihuan went back to the guesthouse first, put away the things he had bought, then went out to find a secluded place, entered the space, disguised himself, and started walking around.
Generally, the black market is located in a more secluded corner. After walking around for a while, Chen Suihuan finally followed a few people carrying large and small bags and turned into a small alley.
After paying the entrance fee, Chen Suihuan entered the black market. The scale of this black market was not small, and there were many things for sale. Chen Suihuan bought a lot of good things.
After buying some necessary things, Chen Suihuan walked towards the two people standing in the alley watching the wind.
"Brother, I have something to sell. Would you like to take it?" Chen Suihuan said as he took out a handful of flour and rice from his pocket and handed them to the guard.
When the man saw the two items, he knew they were top-quality goods: "Wait here for a while."
This should be a request to the black market boss. Chen Suihuan understood, so he leaned aside and waited.
After a while, a few more people came over. The guard stretched out his hand to them, and they immediately paid the toll.
The men in front went in, but a little girl of twelve or thirteen and a hunchbacked old lady of fifty or fifty were blocked at the back.
"Everyone has to pay five cents to get in. If both of you want to get in, you have to pay ten cents."
The old lady and the little girl were both extremely thin. The old lady was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and her calves were shaking.
It seems that he has been hungry for a long time, and he probably came to the black market to exchange for some food.
"We really don't have much money left, and our little girl is still young and doesn't know what to buy. She can't walk well and needs someone to support her.
Young man, please be kind and let us in! ”
The man who opened the door and collected the money scratched his ear with his little finger and sneered, "You are not allowed in if you don't have money. I don't care what your reason is."
The old lady was about to cry. She could only sigh deeply and then ask the man for money: "In this case, you should give us the money. We won't go in."
