"This is not something you should worry about. Just focus on your studies. Your dad will take care of everything else."
He hadn't realized Luo Chunhua's true colors back then, but now that he did, he felt a bit scared.
Having such a vicious woman by your side makes you feel uneasy just thinking about it.
Fortunately, I have always been law-abiding and have not done anything out of line, so she has not been able to find any fault with me.
However, his deceased wife's job cannot be sold. If this woman really becomes idle, then it will be impossible to guard against her.
She has to keep doing this job.
Fang's father was racking his brains to guard against Luo Chunhua causing trouble.
Fang Nan, who was in the military, also received the package sent by Fang Yuan.
He never expected that his girlfriend would send him such a big package.
It was quite heavy to carry, and when I opened it, I found it was full of meat.
"Isn't this girl in the countryside? Where did she get so much meat?"
After reading the letter, he realized that the meat had actually been hunted by him and a few other educated youths on the mountain.
Fang Nan laughed: "This is like a mouse falling into a rice jar; that girl must be overjoyed."
Thinking that Fang Yuan, that girl who loves to eat, had actually gone to such a good place, and that meat was now being sent to him, made him feel much more at ease.
Fang Yuan was unaware of her father's and elder brother's thoughts; she had been in a good mood lately.
Because the autumn harvest has been completely finished, including the last soybeans.
Although the new educated youths didn't receive anything, it didn't dampen her good mood.
The end of the autumn harvest means that winter is just around the corner, and there won't be any work to do for a long time to come.
"Sister Yuanyuan, why is it frosty these past few days? Do you think it's going to snow soon?"
Zhou Jiahui tightened her thick coat; the temperature in the north was dropping too quickly.
It's only October, why is it so cold already?
"Didn't Sister Hongying say that it starts to freeze here in November? Now it's almost the end of October, so the temperature shouldn't be much different?"
Frost began to fall, and the temperature hovered around zero degrees Celsius. Everyone was busy stocking up on things for the winter.
Zhou He brought back a lot of coal from town a couple of days ago, so they won't lack firewood this winter.
She herself went to the recycling station twice.
Of course, the brazier was still not found, but a lot of good stuff was found.
She even put a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets into the space provided by the system.
Everything in the system space was something she planned to take to the next world.
Currently, besides a few small yellow croakers and gold bracelets, there are only these two mutton fat white jade bracelets inside.
Zhou Jiahui nodded and then said, "By the way, Sister Yuanyuan, I saw the aunties in the village take a cartload of vegetables back today. Is the hundred or so catties of vegetables we have stored enough for us?"
They moved here in early autumn, and it was too hot to grow vegetables on the cleared land.
They bought these 100 jin of vegetables in town; she had initially thought it was a bit too much.
But compared to the truckload of vegetables she saw today, she suddenly wondered if their vegetables were too little.
“Of course it’s not enough, so Jia Hui, you should walk around the village more these next few days. If you see any families still have vegetables left, go and buy them. We have money,” Fang Yuan said without any politeness.
She had seen people in Northeast China hoard vegetables before; those vegetables were hoarded by the hundreds of kilograms. How could their little amount of vegetables possibly be enough?
Although conditions are tough now, there are still plenty of vegetables growing in the village's private plots.
They can only take this opportunity to stock up on some things, so that they won't actually have to eat radishes and pickled vegetables in the winter, right?
She can occasionally go into the space to have a treat, but she's afraid these picky eaters won't get used to it.
"Okay! I'll go buy it when I see it. By the way, I heard from Sister Hongying that people here also make soybean paste. Sister Yuanyuan, do you know how to make it?"
He Hongying said that the people here all know how to make soybean paste, and it tastes pretty good, suitable for eating in winter, but she has never tried it.
"I don't know how to make soybean paste, but I made a jar of wheat paste. It's incredibly delicious when stir-fried with meat. And I've filled all three kimchi jars we bought. There's enough sauerkraut, kimchi, and salted vegetables for you."
Fang Yuan was actually quite interested in this soybean paste, but she had never eaten it before, nor had she learned about it. She did know about broad bean paste, though.
Now that we're here, we can see what's different and learn from it later.
"Wheat sauce? I've never heard of that before. I'll have to try it sometime. The pickled cabbage is pretty good though. Your pickled cabbage fish is delicious."
Zhou Jiahui's mouth watered just thinking about the sauerkraut fish that Fang Yuan made.
"Zhou He, is Zhou He home?" A voice called from outside the door.
"Captain Chen? What do you want with my brother?" Zhou Jiahui walked out quickly and asked Chen Wenbing, who was standing at the door.
"Didn't the wild boars come down from the mountain this year? There must be too many wild boars on the mountain. The brigade leader told us to form a hunting team. I'm asking your brother to go up the mountain."
The wild boars coming down the mountain earlier left everyone wanting more.
Now that the autumn harvest is over and the land has been plowed, it's time for them to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars.
"Going up the mountain to kill a wild boar?" Zhou He replied as he walked out of the house.
“That’s right. You killed a wild boar last time, and you’re a member of our team. Are you going?” Chen Wenbing asked Zhou He.
This year's wild boar hunt was divided among the teams; the team that caught the most boars would receive the most boars.
Therefore, he immediately thought of Zhou He and Fang Yuan.
"Should we distribute them the same way as last time?" Zhou He asked rhetorically.
“Of course, our brigade goes up the mountain once a year. Those who go hunting get a bigger share, and the rest are divided per person,” Chen Wenbing replied.
"Hunting wild boar? Are we going up the mountain?" Fang Yuan asked curiously as he walked out.
They haven't finished eating the dozens of kilograms of meat they ate earlier.
"Yes, Comrade Fang Yuan, are you going?" Chen Wenbing asked Fang Yuan again.
He actually thought more highly of Fang Yuan's abilities, after all, her strength and skill in killing wild boars were exactly what they needed.
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "How long will it take you to go hunting in the mountains?"
"It usually takes four or five days, right? But if you hunt enough wild boars early on, you can come back sooner."
After Chen Wenbing finished speaking, he realized that Fang Yuan was a woman and it seemed that she was not suitable to go with them.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "It takes too long, it's inconvenient for me to go with you, so I won't go."
She wanted to go for a walk in the mountains, but didn't want to be with so many people.
"Look at me, I only thought about your skill in hunting wild boars and forgot that you are a woman. It's really inconvenient for you to be with a group of men like us."
It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't bring Fang Yuan and Chen Wenbing along.
He turned to Zhou He and asked, "Are you going?"
This week, He was able to kill two wild boars with just a machete, so he was quite a skilled hunter.
Zhou He nodded: "Okay, when are we leaving?"
He didn't want more meat; he was just worried about the wild boar rushing down the mountain.
If what Chen Wenbing said is true, there are more wild boars on the mountain this year, and if they rush down the mountain again, it will be very dangerous for them who live at the foot of the mountain.
"Alright, we'll meet at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Wear something warm then!" Chen Wenbing said before preparing to leave.
Seeing Chen Wenbing about to leave, Luo Jin, who was standing behind him, quickly called out to him, "Wait, Captain Chen, can I come with you?"
He didn't go near the wild boar when it came down the mountain last time because he had nothing in his hands.
But seeing Fang Yuan and Zhou He dominating the battlefield, he felt an itch to get back to work!
How could he possibly miss this opportunity to hunt wild boars in the mountains, after making thorough preparations?
