With no work to earn work points, Lin Yuxi enjoyed a rare period of leisure.
I went around to the back of the house and sprayed the seedlings with water. To my surprise, after a few days, the vegetable seedlings became much stronger, and the coriander seedlings even grew coriander leaves.
She now had an extra hoe in her hand; the blueberries needed to be planted and sun-dried as soon as possible.
With a string of rewards, their lives will only get better and better.
Lin Yuxi took out all the soil from the space, mixed it with garden soil, planted the blueberries, watered them thoroughly, and used a tree branch to provide shade for them to recover.
After making sure the blueberries were planted properly, Lin Yuxi picked up her hoe and leaned it against the wall of the mud-brick house.
Lin Yuxi killed two wolves, but she didn't want the meat. The production brigade couldn't really refuse to give her any.
So they brought over two chickens from the brigade. The chickens were alive, and Cao Wang carried them over.
"Comrade Lin Yuxi, this is a chicken given to you by the brigade. You can kill it when you want to eat it, otherwise it won't last long in this weather. If you don't want wolf meat, we'll replace it with chicken meat."
Cao Wang felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Lin Yuxi. How could such a lovely young girl have gone off alone into the deep mountains and forests? It was all his fault; if he hadn't given her the map, she wouldn't have ventured into the back mountains.
"Don't go to the back mountain anymore. There are many wild animals there, and it's not safe."
Lin Yuxi nodded in agreement. "Village Secretary, how is that aunt from yesterday? Has she woken up?"
"She's not awake yet. The police are still investigating her identity. They'll notify her family once they find out." Cao Wang shook his head, stuffed the chicken into the coop. The coop in this mud-brick house was readily available. He neatly cut the rope and left.
Lin Yuxi thought it was normal that he hadn't woken up yet. After all, he had been torn apart by wolves so badly, his flesh was mangled and he had lost too much blood. Medical conditions were not good at the time, so he would definitely not recover in a short period of time.
"Xixi, do you want to eat fish tonight? Mom will boil some fish fillets for you." Lin's mother washed the clothes and hung them out to dry in the yard. She also cut a plate of fruit and put it in a bowl, and washed a few cherries.
Only a biological mother could do this, expecting her to be waited on hand and foot.
If it were my mother-in-law, she would probably say, "Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
"Okay, I'm fine with anything." Lin Yuxi replied, taking a cherry and putting it in her mouth. It was sweet and not sour at all.
After eating a few cherries and a few pieces of apple, Lin Yuxi lay back in her chair, thinking how wonderful this retirement life was.
This is the production brigade.
Families are still lining up to sign for their share of the meat.
After removing the liver and fur, and draining the blood, each household received exactly five ounces of meat. There were about forty educated youth sent to Qinghe Village, and they also received an extra two ounces of meat.
In large families, five ounces of meat might be finished in one meal, especially in Zhang Shufang's family, which has three sons and the couple who are both over fifty. Five ounces of meat is simply not enough for them. With some bones added, there are at most three ounces of meat left.
Looking at the meat she had been given and the two chickens that Cao Wang had given to Lin Yuxi, she stared wide-eyed out the window.
There wasn't enough meat, but Zhao Xiaotong did get a full two ounces.
Zhao Xiaotong had just returned with the meat when she saw Zhang Shufang peeping through the window. Hearing the noise, she turned her attention to her.
Zhao Xiaotong suddenly had a clever idea and hid the meat behind her back.
"Aunt Zhang, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
