Chapter 386 Summer Rain
The next day, Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin were busy all day and made all the remaining meat from the Su family into jerky.
After the prepared dried meat has cooled, wrap it in oil paper, place it in a dry ceramic jar, and then store it in a cool place in the house.
Even so, it can only be preserved for a period of time longer than fresh meat.
But Su Ruanruan also likes to eat this, and she would probably eat it all before it goes bad.
The weather is exceptionally good this year. It rains every few days, and the crops in the fields are growing well, so they don't need much watering.
There was plenty of rain and good fertilizer application, so the crops grew well and the weeds were particularly lush.
Therefore, Xiao Dashan arranged for people in the production team to go to the fields to pull weeds every day.
This doesn't require any technical skills or much strength, and anyone of any age can do it.
Every family wants to earn more work points, so some elderly people who did not work due to their old age have also gone to work during this period.
Xiao Dashan was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation and muddle through, so he allocated a piece of land to each person every day.
When it is time to get off work, ask the scorer to check the situation on the field.
If you slack off at work, you will definitely not get many work points.
In this way, everyone worked hard and no one was lazy. The work enthusiasm of everyone in the Third Production Brigade was raised, and the crops in the fields grew better.
Time passed quickly and it was already the end of May. During this period, Su Jianjun still came to the Su family to visit Su Aimin every day, but he never had much contact with Su Runrun, and at most he just nodded.
Su Runrun was very satisfied with this. As long as Su Jianjun didn't bother her, she had no objection to coming to see Su Aimin.
It is summer at the end of May and the weather is getting hot.
Since the summer, there has been significantly more rain.
Sometimes it rains in the morning or afternoon.
Summer rain comes quickly and violently. After a heavy downpour, it leaves quickly, leaving only mud on the ground.
That day, Xiao Chengjin came over to Su Runruan after breakfast as usual and told her that he was going to the county town.
He has been going to the county town frequently recently, and no one knows what he is doing there. Su Ruanruan asked him twice, but when she saw that he didn't say anything, she stopped asking.
Anyway, Xiao Chengjin wouldn't do anything bad.
After lunch, the sky quickly became gloomy again, and soon there were lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain.
Su Runruan sat on the kang, looking at the rain curtain outside, and was glad that she and Xiao Chengjin had reinforced the roof of the Su family last month.
Otherwise, it would probably rain heavily outside and drizzle inside.
The heavy rain stopped after more than an hour, but the ground in the yard was bumpy and there were small puddles everywhere.
The ground in their yard was rolled with a stone mill, but the rain still created puddles, which showed how heavy the rain was.
Su Ruanruan's gaze did not stay on the ground for long. What she was thinking now was, Xiao Chengjin should not have come back, right? Xiao Chengjin often went to the county town recently, and came back at different times.
If he happened to be on the road, he would probably get soaked.
But Su Runruan kept waiting, and when the sun was about to set, she still didn't see Xiao Chengjin, so she knew that Xiao Chengjin must not have been wet by the rain.
It gets dark late in the summer, and it was still light when the three members of the Su family finished their dinner.
Of course it was impossible to sleep at this time, so Su Runrun and the other two sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
There was a large wooden basin in the yard. In the basin was icy-cold well water that Su Ruanruan had just drawn, and a small watermelon was soaking in it.
