Dabao and Xiaobao sat on the small stools obediently with candies in their mouths. Behind them were two large windproof winnowing baskets supported by two wooden poles.
Now, they feel warm.
Qiao Jiuru, Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan were working hard in the fields. After these days of labor, they had gradually gotten used to it, and now their work level was almost the same as that of some female members.
Next to them were Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua, who were each assigned an area of one and a half acres. Bai Lianshan and the others felt that Zhou Meihua was not fully recovered yet, so they did not assign her more tasks.
The two families worked together, and the environment was different. Especially Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua, after coming here for so long, they finally have some hope and expectation, and have more faith in the future.
I worked hard for the whole morning, and when I was about to get off work, Bai Lianshan came to me with a list in his hand.
"Sister Qiao, your parcel list has arrived. Do you want to pick it up yourself, or should I pick it up for you?!"
Before, Qiao Jiuru mentioned the package to him, and he waited for two days. The package list was only delivered today.
Look, Bai Lianshan brought the money to Qiao Jiuru, and then came over to ask her what she thought.
"Captain, when you go to the commune, please pick it up for us."
Of course Qiao Jiuru wanted to go to the commune by herself, so that she could buy some things and put them in the air. Unfortunately, she couldn't go with her status.
"Okay, I'll go to the commune to get grain seeds in the next two days, and I'll bring it back for you when the time comes."
Bai Lianshan nodded. He was not surprised at Qiao Jiuru's words. It was indeed difficult for them to go to the commune with their identities, but in the future, with more time, it would be okay to go there secretly occasionally.
The package she had sent from Beijing finally arrived, and Qiao Jiuru breathed a sigh of relief. The things inside were quite valuable, and it was also an excuse for her to take things out in the future.
"Uncle Jiu said you wanted to buy wooden boxes, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, vegetable baskets, tables, chairs, and benches from the production team. I'll have Qiangzi and the others deliver them to you after work this afternoon."
Just now, Uncle Jiu stopped him and told him that Qiao Jiuru wanted to buy some of these things from the production team, and asked him to get it for her.
These are small matters, and they are not given away for free. This is considered to generate income for the production team, and the production team has no complaints.
"Thank you, Captain."
Qiao Jiuru thanked him again and again, saying that it would be much more convenient to have these things at home.
Bai Lianshan waved his hands, saying that these were nothing and not worth her thanks.
"Captain, can we buy a bucket and a small table?!"
At this time, Zhou Meihua, who had been listening on the side for a while, came over and asked cautiously.
"Sure, how big of a small table do you want?! Is the one that sits on the kang okay?!"
Bai Lianshan certainly didn't mind. Although Baigou Village had always kept its distance from people like Cai Qingwen, it had never made things difficult for them. I even helped them secretly.
The rations Cai Qingwen and his men received every year were actually not enough to eat, but the production team still subsidized them a lot secretly, and as long as they mixed it with wild vegetables, they would have no problem filling their stomachs.
As for non-vegetarian dishes such as meat and eggs, the production team only had eggs and other foods were also in short supply. They could only enjoy a satisfying meal by slaughtering pigs at the end of the year.
Cai Qingwen and his colleagues could also use their money to exchange eggs with the members of the production team, and the production team also tacitly pretended not to know. In fact, this was something that everyone tacitly agreed to.
"Yes, yes."
Zhou Meihua nodded happily and said repeatedly. The small table on the kang can also be placed on the ground, it's the same.
"Then I'll send them to you together."
After Bai Lianshan finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back. In less than two days, they would be sowing seeds, and the team had a lot of things to do.
Qiao Jiuru held Xiaobao's hand, Zhou Meihua held Dabao's hand, and the two adults and two children hurried back together to make lunch.
"Old Qiao, if you have money, you can exchange some eggs for Dabao and Xiaobao to nourish their bodies. Sister Tao, Sister Fan, and Granny Ling in the production team are all very good. You can exchange them with them."
When Zhou Meihua arrived, she had a certain understanding of the people here and had her own regular people with whom she exchanged things. There was no one around at the moment, so she took the opportunity to introduce him to Qiao Jiuru.
"Okay, I'll go exchange some with them in a few days. Dabao and Xiaobao haven't finished their eggs yet. When we first came, because Dabao and Xiaobao were seriously ill, Uncle Jiu and the team leader gave them some eggs to supplement their nutrition."
Qiao Jiuru sincerely thanked her for her kindness and took the initiative to tell the two little guys that there were eggs to eat.
Zhou Meihua also knew that Dabao and Xiaobao had fallen ill on the day they arrived, and she loved the two little ones very much.
"Old Joe, it doesn't matter whether you exchange them for eggs or chickens, but you have to exchange them for less, so as not to offend others or make them jealous."
Zhou Meihua couldn't help but remind her that she could see that Qiao Jiuru and the others who were sent down here were not as embarrassed as they were, so she asked her to pay more attention.
Qiao Jiuru naturally listened to it and nodded at Zhou Meihua with a smile. She probably changes it twice a year at most, and the eggs are changed at most once a month, which shouldn't attract attention.
In the morning, Qiao Jiuru mixed the sweet potato mash with the dough, and now after returning, he directly steamed the sweet potato buns.
She quickly took out a large bowl of chicken soup and egg noodles from the space and fed the two little guys noodles while watching the fire.
The two little guys had a very good appetite. They finished a big bowl of noodles in five minutes and even drank up the chicken soup.
Not long after the two brothers finished eating, Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze, and Zhou Wanwan came back together.
Lunch was sweet potato buns, egg drop soup, corn porridge with pickles, and two boiled eggs per person.
In the evening, Qiao Jiuru took the two little ones off work first. Just as they got home, a young man came back with a wheelbarrow delivering a bunch of things.
With such a large pile of things, Qiao Jiuru only spent 5.2 yuan, and he was even given a few extra backpacks and bamboo baskets.
