"We won't go into the mountains tomorrow in this weather. Let's just keep looking for firewood."
Qiao Jiuru left the mountain half an hour earlier than yesterday. Seeing that the snow was getting heavier in the afternoon, he decided not to go into the mountains tomorrow.
Anyway, the mountain products in the valley have been picked up, and there should be a lot of fish. But it doesn't mean they will be wiped out all at once, and we can come back to fish next year.
And now with so many more things, they are having a good time this day.
"Yes, let's collect more firewood tomorrow while the snow is still not too heavy."
"We have enough food, and firewood is not lacking, otherwise we won't be able to hold on."
"I am already very satisfied with what I have achieved this year."
"Me too."
“I couldn’t imagine the life we are living now before.”
"We don't have to worry about this day."
"Yes, I won't worry anymore."
…
Old Feng, Cai Qingwen, Zhou Meihua and others all agreed with Qiao Jiuru's arrangement, and now they are all willing to listen to her and Su Huaiyuan.
Just like in academia, they will listen to whoever is better, and they will be convinced.
Although Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan said that the 200 yuan was a hush money for them, everyone knew that it was the couple who helped them.
It’s true that they didn’t have the two hundred dollars. Even though they knew about it and saw it, they would never tell anyone.
They came out of the mountains more than two minutes earlier than usual, but because of the snow, they didn't meet anyone along the way.
When they were in the mountains, they first distributed the things to each family, so when they reached the foot of the mountain, they agreed on a time to look for firewood tomorrow, and then went back separately.
It snowed in the afternoon, so Zhou Wanwan didn't dare bring her eldest son, Dabao, out to greet them, but waited at the door.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad is back."
"Mom, I'm back, Grandma, Grandpa, Dad."
After Dabao and Xiaobao woke up from their afternoon nap, they ate some white flour buns, learned some children's songs, and then sat at the door of the house with a juicy and sweet pear, waiting for their grandparents and father.
They are sensible enough to know that their grandparents and dad have gone to the mountains, and they are too old to go, nor do they want to hold them back.
However, they missed their grandparents so much at home that it was almost dark when they finally spotted people rushing home.
The two guys almost jumped up with great excitement, and then stumbled towards Qiao Jiuru and the others regardless of everything.
When Zhou Wanwan heard the sound and chased after them, the two guys had already run very far away.
"Big treasure 께 treasure."
Qiao Jiuru quickly put down the things he was carrying and hugged the two guys who rushed over.
The two guys were wearing thick clothes. Qiao Jiuru touched their hands and found them warm, so he relaxed.
Zhou Wanwan had already prepared the meal and was keeping it warm in the pot, waiting for her parents-in-law and husband to come home for dinner.
There were fewer fish today than yesterday, so we split them into two. The rest were two large sacks of chestnuts, other mountain products, and two large bundles of firewood.
"Tonight, make fish balls out of this fish and send them to Huazhu and the others. Freeze four of them and stew them slowly."
While eating, Qiao Jiuru arranged and distributed the fish. Probably in a few days, the production team would organize everyone to go fishing in the river, and they would definitely get two fish by then.
The family had no objection to this arrangement. They had caught a few fish in the past few days, and had smoked several salted fish. The fish balls were piled high and placed in a large wooden basin. They were to be eaten every day for at least a month.
After dinner, Zhou Wanwan and Su Ze went to kill the fish, while Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan took two guys to distribute supplies to the people in the cowshed.
The mutton was taken out from the space by them. It was the mutton that the rabbit exchanged with the second and fifth brothers a few days ago. Each person got three pieces, so this person only got three pieces.
Fortunately, it snowed today, so the mutton can be kept for a few days without going bad if we can’t finish it.
Cotton was also given to each of the four people, and when it was taken out from the space, it was put into a sack.
In addition, fabrics were the least, after all, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan had tried hard to stock up, but they didn't stock up enough. Now that some had been distributed to everyone, the remaining fabrics were enough for the four adults to make a new set of clothes, and two sets for Dabao and Xiaobao.
However, a new set of clothes for each person would be enough to sustain them until they are rehabilitated and return to the city.
In a few days, 1973 will be here soon, so how far can 1976 be? !
These days are just like what Lao Feng and the others said, they are becoming more and more promising.
In addition to cotton cloth, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan also prepared rice and flour for everyone.
At one o'clock in the evening, Cai Qingwen and his friends came quietly to move things according to the agreed time.
When they saw so much mutton, cloth, cotton and fine grains, they could not help but redden their eyes and choked with sobs, unable to speak.
Grateful, touched... everything is beyond words and all is recorded in my heart.
"Old Cai, now that the snow is not that heavy, you should prepare the things and money for your daughter so that I can ask Huazhu to go to the commune and send them to her."
Su Huaiyuan patted his friend on the shoulder, and reminded him that he and Aru planned to get up early tomorrow and rush to Dashan Village to give fish balls, fish, and other things to his daughter.
"I, I'll go back and prepare now, and I'll bring you something later."
After hearing this, Cai Qingwen was so excited that he wiped away the tears from his eyes several times. He responded with gratitude and immediately planned to go back and have his wife send it over overnight.
"Okay, then we'll send it to Huazhu early tomorrow morning and ask her to go to the commune tomorrow."
"Do you guys need to buy anything else? If it's convenient, I'll ask Huazhu to bring it back for you."
It's better to deal with Lao Cai's affairs as soon as possible. Su Huaiyuan had heard from his wife before that the child was not doing well in the south. The main reason was that he had little money and no luggage, and his life was more difficult than that of other educated youth.
"I want to buy two boxes of matches, two bags of salt, some needle and thread, and a bag of brown sugar."
"I also have two pieces of salt, needle and thread, and one piece of brown sugar."
"There is no more toilet paper at home. I need money this time. I need two ounces of toilet paper, two ounces of salt, needlework, and brown sugar."
"Yes, yes, yes, 놚 straw paper."
"I think you should all go home and do the statistics. I'll come back later and we'll talk to Lao Su."
"Okay, I still have paper and pen."
…
Everyone came with excitement and left with excitement, sweeping away the previous dullness and seeming to have regained vitality.
After Cai Qingwen, Lao Feng and the others returned home in a big way, everyone in the cowshed was in an uproar.
Cotton, mutton, fine grains, cloth!!!
Each person needs more than four pieces of cotton, two pieces can be put into the cotton coat and two pieces into the cotton trousers, and he will not feel cold for several years to come.
As for the cloth, even if you can make a coat, you can wear it for many years. Even if the pants are torn, you can use the old cloth to mend them.
Not to mention mutton, one person has three pieces, two people have six pieces, and three people have nine pieces.
Please save some money. These six servings of mutton will last them more than a month.
Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua were more excited than anyone else in the cowshed. After they got their share of the goods, they knew they could ask Lao Su's daughter to help send the goods to their daughter. They quickly took out a hundred yuan, returned five or six bags of mountain products, three bags of cotton they had just received, and two smoked fish that were about 60% to 70% done.
"Oh, right, ointment. Ointment."
Zhou Meihua was so excited that she paced around the room, wishing she could send half of what they had to her daughter.
Fortunately, she suddenly remembered this good thing. It was an ointment made by the production team. During the autumn harvest, they didn't have to work as hard as before by applying it every day.
However, Zhou Meihua only had half a bottle of ointment left in her hand. She quickly ran to the next door to ask Lao Feng and his family, and fortunately found two full bottles, one of which was still empty.
